Art inspired by Nature


Nature is the source of my inspiration. It is where we come from and where we go to. Connection with inner and surrounding nature is an omnipresent quest. That is why ecology is a way of living and my criteria for my art creation.

As Robin Wall Kimmerer says so beautifully in her amazing book “Braiding Sweetgrass” “becoming indigenous to a place means living as if your children’s future mattered, to take care of the land as if our lives, both material and spiritual, depended on it.”

I choose to use only natural or recycled materials. Wool, wood, plant dying, ecoprint and tataki zomé, natural elements, stones,…

or donated or thrifted objects of curiosities such as found photographs, old paper and cloth.

In my abstract work, cells, eggs, feathers, stones and leaves are inspiring me without limits.

I studied ecorituals as a way to deepen my artistic practice. Every creation is a ritual on itself.

With Celebr’Arte, my project for celebrating oneself through art, I co created a menarche ritual box as well as other ritual objects, that i sell on that website.
