Ariane Mariane explores the art of transformation, weaving together visual art and Gestalt therapy as two deeply complementary practices. Both invite us to reconnect with our life force, our creativity, and the joy of being alive.
In the creative process, material transforms through the movement of our hands. In Gestalt therapy, transformation unfolds in the space between the client and the practitioner, through contact and shared experience.
Art & Gestalt open a path back to our inner artist, that original spark we are all born with and which is often hidden beneath layers of roles and conditioning. Reconnecting with this creative essence allows authentic creation to become possible, both in life and in art.
As a visual artist and Gestalt therapy practitioner, Ariane Mariane offers her art, workshops, and individual one-to-one sessions online and in person to support and guide you with your unique process of transformation.

Ariane Mariane is a German-born mixed media textile artist living in France since 1995. She works and accompanies people in German, French, and English.
Her work explores transformation through material, color, and intuitive gesture. Known for her textile art universe combining feltmaking, free-motion embroidery, and mixed media techniques, she creates sensitive and organic works oscillating between abstraction, figuration, and intuitive expression.
Like an explorer, she approaches each artwork with curiosity, welcoming what emerges and allowing herself to be guided by the inspiration of the moment. Her creations appear as fragments — fragments of life born through contact with the material, traces of a moment, a sensation, or an inner movement.
Since 2010, she has been sharing her technical knowledge, her playful and embodied approach, and above all her ability to stay present in the moment through workshops, trainings, and retreats held both online and in person. She also accompanies professional and emerging artists in the development of their creative universe and artistic expression.
Since 2026, she has also been practicing as a certified Gestalt therapy practitioner, trained at the IFFP. She experiences this work as deeply complementary to her artistic practice and draws on the Gestalt approach both in her own creative process and in the guidance she offers others.
Through intuitiveness, exploration, and contact with both material and the other, Ariane Mariane intertwines Art & Gestalt in what she calls The Art of Transformation.
