A few words about your artistic career

Before becoming a full-time abstract artist, I tried other art forms such as photography, but I found more peace in painting. Translating nature onto canvas became a way of translating my lived experience as a woman and as a human being.

How long have you been an artist?

After quitting my job in 2016, I used painting as an escape. It slowly became a way of expressing my everyday life.

Why did you apply for this scholarship? How will the scholarship support you?

I applied for the Africalia grant because the COVID-19 crisis has made life more difficult for everyone, but even more so for artists. We now have to worry more about paying our bills than creating art.

What are your concrete artistic objectives after this residency?

I'm keen to explore mediums other than acrylic paint.
