About

Statement

In my paintings, what I have sought to capture are those suspended moments of everyday life, where solitude and contemplation meet.

I draw on liminal spaces — those places between the real and the imaginary — and try to translate them onto the canvas through light, texture, and layering.

I also want to make spaces where anyone can lose themselves, reinvent themselves, and question their relationship to time and space.

Lately I have been making many small drawings in dry pastel. They are gentler than my paintings, and let me approach these themes another way.

In 2018 she began her artistic studies at Prép'art in Paris, then continued at the École Supérieure d'Art de Clermont Métropole, where she earned her DNSEP in June 2024 with the jury's honours.

Her work explores the boundary between the tangible and the imaginary, building atmospheric spaces that invite contemplation.
