Salon d'automne

The full complexity of human experience fuels her artistic approach. What guides her is a quest for the invisible, a desire to reveal what lies beyond appearances . Through her works, she seeks to capture raw emotion, the singularity of an expression, the depth of a gaze, or the intensity of a posture. Each stroke, drawn with black chalk, becomes a passage to the essence of humanity, a path to unveiling inner narratives where strength and vulnerability intertwine. The backgrounds she paints amplify this depth, adding layers of mystery and light, as if to illuminate the unspeakable. She then invites the viewer to a shared exploration, where human emotions are revealed in all their intensity and complexity.

 

Member of the Taylor Foundation, the Friends of the Salon d'Automne, the Maison des Artistes, the ADAGP, and a member of the Salon d'Automne, she has distinguished herself by her singular vision, notably receiving the Silver Medal Arts-Sciences-Lettres in 2025, the Painting Prize of the Great International Exhibition 2023 in Montsûrs, the Expressionism Prize at the Salon d'Automne in Paris in 2022, and the Creativity Prize at Art Expo in Palermo in 2020.
