“One has to wander through all the outer worlds to reach the innermost shrine at the end.”
- Rabindranath Tagore
My painting corresponds to this desire to see and experience the world in order to ultimately gain wisdom and spiritual understanding.
Who I am today, as a person and as an artist, has to do with the places where I have lived and with my multicultural upbringing and affinities.
Half French, half Malaysian, born in Singapore, I have lived in India, Nepal and Indonesia, I studied Anthropology in the US and in Cuba, and got my Master’s in Anthropology and Development in the UK, after which I moved to Argentina and finally, Brazil, where I am currently based.
I have painted since I was young, but only recently have I begun to dedicate myself to it professionally. My painting represents the way I look at the world, the way I observe the visible and interpret the subsurface of the visible, to reflect upon the meaning of life.
I believe that painting is like life itself. We must strive to learn the skills, acquire the knowledge and always have integrity so as to enable one to face whatever comes with an open mind. Only then can one’s true creative essence flow freely.
