She hypnotizes us, bewitches us, drives our gaze to the maritime ballets of her beloved Calanques, punctuated by the slow movements of Mediterranean algae. Inspired by a
word or an expression, she spreads the wings of hypnotic poems and invents unprecedented alchemies with materials: acrylic, oil, gold and silver leaf, nail varnish; all choreographed with her brushes, her knives and her fingers... ”I give myself free rein in my painting. I want it to transmit a lightness, for it to do people good, to raise their spirits! Joy is also an exceptional feeling of freedom. And as far as I am concerned, I do as I please!” Her generous and joyful work touches an eclectic, international audience with which she nurtures exceptionally close ties. The next major milestone in October 2017 is a big exhibition in Dubai, organized by her patron and the Emirate’s minister of culture.
