Barrillot paints two superimposed images within a single work, creating compositions that shift depending on the viewer’s distance and movement. Her paintings exist in dual states, “entangled” yet never blending, offering an experience that transforms as the observer engages. The work comes to life through perception itself.Her rare ability to merge high and low spatial and temporal frequencies has attracted the attention of neuroscientists at the CHUV in Lausanne, who study her brain imaging to better understand the hyperconnectivity behind her extraordinary visual processing. Barrillot’s themes center on iconic and universal figures—from cultural and political visionaries to the great minds of quantum physics. - Véronique Barrillot was born in Lyon in 1969. Her first mural was presented in Dijon in 2010. Three years later, in 2013, she became the only French artist invited to show her work at the legendary Five Pointz in New York. In 2015, she unveiled her first quantum painting, “Malaise dans la Civilisation: Freud vs. Einstein,” marking a new direction in her creative research. Recognition followed: in 2017 she received the Jean-Charles Hachet Prize in Paris and produced her first personalized quantum commission. By 2022, her presence expanded internationally with permanent representation in both the United States and Switzerland. In 2023, she exhibited at the Chapelle des Élus in Dijon and joined the permanent collection of the Gold Coast Center in New York. In 2025, she entered the Parisian art scene and was welcomed into the POPA Museum of Modern Art in Porrentruy, Switzerland.
