APAmonie presents landscapes that interpret a site according to a personal vision and artistic research.
She has long been fascinated by the details of nature. She is particularly sensitive to the interplay of scale, micro-macro, landscapes within a landscape, and small motifs embedded within larger ones.
This fascination has led her to the artistic approach she adopts today.
Her work is based on observation, photographs, sketches, combinations, and superimpositions of elements found on-site.
The discovered natural patterns overlap and thereby offers a unique vision of the site’s natural environment, while recreating its atmosphere. These patterns are expressed through various media with a predilection for drawing and watercolor.
The result is not a realistic portrait of a plant or a tree, but a personal vision, an abstract, offbeat and asymmetrical variation of the fragments found in the places visited.

APAmonie introduces the visitor to the dialogue that takes place between the site’s architectural, natural, and artificial structures. This language of scale differences, pattern correspondences and interstices represents a grammar that is difficult to understand, but it can be felt.
Through minimalist and poetic assemblages, APAmonie invites viewers to admire the details of nature and to use their imagination. Her work draws attention to the beauty of nature, sometimes invisible at first, that surround the site’s visitors and yet represent an inexhaustible source of emotion.

Merete Hjorth Jepsen, aka APAmonie, has lived in France for over a decade. She was born in Denmark, a land of sea and wind. She is a landscape architect with a degree from the University of Copenhagen and an artist. Her works are marked by her Scandinavian identity, notably the search for a minimalist expression that finds meaning in abstraction.
