'In Emma’s work, nature is embroidered with beads, people rest on each other's shoulders or wander through beautiful yet endangered landscapes.' 

Emma Boittiaux is an artist, writer and award-winning photographer born in Normandy, France, and currently based in London. She graduated from Central Saint Martins, University of the Arts London, in 2017. Her photograph from the series ‘Take Care of Your Brother’ won the prestigious Portrait of Britain award in 2023. In 2025, she published her first story, ‘A Quiet Rape’. A mix of poetry and prose to explore three generations of women trying to find the words to speak about the unspeakable: war, intimacy, sexual violence and rape. She is represented by Artiq since October 2024.

​

Her research intertwines photography, portraiture, writing, embroidery on Normand linen and beading work on prints. All these media dance together with softness to bring a poetic insight into questions relating to her ecofeminism, in which the topic of gender walks hand in hand with the realities of climate change. Topics like violence towards women, how men care for each other, and how we think about our future in a time of climate emergency are all interlinked and need to be thought about together.

Whether it’s a portrait in ‘Take Care of Your Brother’ or the shadow of a tree in ‘Stay Longer’, the detail becomes precious and the moment in between becomes the centre. Time stands still.
