BIOGRAPHY 


AGATHE TOMAN (born 1989) is a French-Austrian-Czech artist whose transdisciplinary practice brings together painting, drawing, photography and poetic writing.

After studying at the Chambre Syndicale de la Couture Parisienne, she worked for several years as a designer within French haute couture houses in Paris before choosing to devote herself fully to her own artistic practice. Based in the Landes in southwest France, she lives and works between Hossegor and Paris.

Her work explores the inner human experience as a living traversal — at the intersection of poetry, philosophy and contemporary research on the psyche and perception. Painting, notebooks, photography and writing form a unified field of artistic investigation.

Since 2025, Agathe Toman has been represented by Mala Gallery and is a member of the Fondation Taylor. Her work entered an institutional collection following the acquisition of a drawing by the BIC Foundation in December 2025. Her works are held in several private collections and have been auctioned at Sotheby’s. In April 2026, she participates in Art Paris.

Alongside her artistic practice, she has been pursuing research in psychoanalysis and neuroscience in Paris for the past five years. She also develops a body of poetic writing, in both English and French, which accompanies and informs her visual work. She is the author of a first poetry collection, You Will Have to Learn to Smile Again, and is currently preparing a new bilingual book.
