I am a Franco-American visual
artist and certified Art Life Coach whose painting
practice is grounded in a deeply embodied, mindful
approach to image-making. Drawing from my background
in classical and modern dance, my work translates
movement, rhythm, and inner sensation into tactile
compositions that blur the boundary between gesture,
time, and canvas.
Working primarily with my hands, I paint in direct
contact with the surface, using pouring, pressing,
and intuitive, full-body gestures to remain as close
as possible to my body, emotions, and visceral
states. My technique - distinctly informed by
mindfulness-based art practices - emphasizes
presence, breath, and physical engagement, allowing
the act of painting itself to become a site of
heightened awareness and transformation.
Deeply shaped by ten years of psychoanalysis, my
work explores the tension between vulnerability and
strength, chaos and clarity, articulating a raw yet
refined visual language of the human condition. The
traces of the body, the duration of the gesture, and
the intensity of the moment are embedded within each
work, suggesting an expanded field of painting where
process and presence are inseparable from the image.
Extending my artistic practice into the field of
personal development, I am a certified Art Life
Coach, having completed my training with Distinction
through Certified Excellence in January 2026. The
training programme holds accreditations from IPHM,
IAOTH and CMA. Through intuitive painting and
creative exploration, I guide individuals in
reconnecting with their creativity, developing
self-awareness, and exploring emotions through
artistic expression. My approach brings together
art, mindfulness, and personal growth, creating a
space where the creative process becomes a means of
self-discovery. |
