Originally from Québec, Solenn O’Meara is an artist holding a double bachelor’s degree in Visual and Media Arts as well as in Art Education from Université Laval, where she is currently pursuing a Master’s in Visual Arts. Living and working in Québec City, she mainly exhibits in her region and develops a practice that intertwines research-creation and the transmission of knowledge.

Her work focuses on the persistence of residues from everyday gestures and on how their transformation can generate new aesthetic and sensitive forms. Rather than considering them as mere waste, she seeks to understand how these remnants can be reinvested within an artistic practice. Her research thus questions our ways of inhabiting the world through what endures, aiming to reimagine the value of discarded materials and to make their becoming perceptible, whether they are organic fragments, images, or abandoned objects.

Her works take shape as installations, photographs, biotextiles, and experimental videos, activating spaces where matter, gesture, and place resonate together.
