Statement

My emotional and psychological state is the starting point of a creation.

An inner vision springs in my mind and depicts, thanks to specific oil and acrylic colours, metal sheets, archetypal forms and symbols, the level of personal and spiritual evolution I have achieved. Once this moment of awareness is fixed by the painting, I see a clear direction to work things out, to proceed for the next step of expansion, on my way to fulfilment.

I develop these “aha” moments through various series. Each one points to a different direction but all of them are about  healing and self improvement for a better life.

Series:  "On my way to Light "

It narrates the story of a healing... a victory that unfolds through many tales, complete in themselves. Each tale, or would we say each painting, evokes a success achieved out of hope, confidence and even faith.

My paintings speak of trials faced and triumphed over. All of us in the course of our life are confronted to adversity. It begins with "Expectation" where we see a woman wondering if she has the courage to choose her own path, shortly followed by "The girl with the kite” who wants to heal. From that point, my life path - but it could be yours - progresses through a series of obstacles overcome. Each canvas symbolizes a gate and its threshold crossed.

I paint the choice between two possible directions: to remain where we are stuck or, even worse, to go back in the past, or to choose to move forward towards Light and Transformation, synonymous with healing.

If we decide to listen to our heart and to communicate, we go away from the sadness and misunderstanding. We begin a journey toward the unification of “body, mind, spirit and soul ", the only way to build a strong and robust living being, able to withstand any storm.

This is my intent: to paint the numerous adventures of a new Man looking for  having his feet well rooted to the ground and his head in the sky, master of his destiny.

Series:  "Resurrection through our female origins"

Who among us has not dreamed, at least once, to have the opportunity to rise, leaving behind the scars of the past, to freely choose one’s path, confident in one’s capabilities…

Enthusiasm ... the enthusiasm to start life afresh again. Feeling like the Arabian phoenix that is reborn, ready to grasp a better life.

My paintings want to reveal many ways  of resurrection through many different matrices, different in their materialization, but equal in their symbolism, our female origins. Everything and everyone are conceived in the belly of the Female. Through this universal and sacred origin, from the most ancient times, we are ready to go out into the world to create our future, listening to our deepest inner voice.

 

Series: “I choose stability

 

Series: “Mandala path

 

Series: “The shining path

   

My actual studies of the Cabbala have begun to inspire some paintings through Hebraic letters and the Tree of Life.

 

 

 

Biography

 In another life, she  graduated in Marketing and Commerce before working for ten years in the commercial field. Her coming to Rome was the turning point of her life. She discovered Trompe l’oeil mural painting and changed her professional focus. After a six month learning class with the internationally renowned  decorative painter Yannick Guégan, she became a French decorative painter in Rome.

A few years passed and she was confronted with a second turning point, fighting victoriously cancer twice in a short time. She became passionately involved in discovering, experiencing and learning  various techniques of natural therapies, following a path of personal and spiritual evolution and ultimately of self healing.

One day, she sensed that the mastery of her painting was only a first step. She could fuse her two passions together. She created "Wellness through Painting", a method absolutely new and, dare we say, unique in the world.


For European collectors, she conceives paintings that depict
different steps of personal and spiritual evolution. With the help of various techniques and especially the reading of the subtle bodies, she is able to perceive the message our soul wants to communicate and to put it on the canvas. She is motivated by exploring beyond the mere appearance to reveal the most intimate self, a vision that symbolizes the soul and its purpose.  

 

She lives between Rome and London.

 

It is absolutely fascinating to discover how beautiful we are at the core of ourselves!

 

We all want to know ourselves better; a strange energy forces us to look for who we truly are., it is so intriguing to find out  what message our bodies and our energy want us to understand and which portrait of our heart or of our soul is appearing to us, wonder-struck.
