I paint to explore transformation and the invisible connections between living beings, objects, and natural elements. My work blends organic forms with details from domestic, animal, and vegetal worlds, where abstraction and figuration merge. Inspired by the landscapes of Iceland and the Fontainebleau Forest where I live, I’m drawn to thresholds — spaces of passage between matter and spirit, real and imaginary. I paint figures that appear and disappear like memories or dreams. Each piece grows from drawing, unfolding into series that act as fragmented narratives, opening onto shifting inner landscapes and moments of quiet metamorphosis.

Je peins pour explorer la transformation et les liens invisibles entre les êtres vivants, les objets et les éléments naturels. Mon travail mêle formes organiques et détails issus du monde domestique, animal et végétal, où abstraction et figuration se confondent. Inspirée par les paysages d’Islande et par la forêt de Fontainebleau où je vis, je suis attirée par les seuils — ces passages entre matière et esprit, réel et imaginaire. Mes figures apparaissent et disparaissent comme des souvenirs ou des rêves. Chaque peinture naît du dessin, et ouvre sur des paysages intérieurs en mutation.

Voyage dans le cristal    




Part of the group exhibition Jöklablámi curated by Þóranna Dögg Björnsdóttir in Hjalteyri Art Center, Iceland.

Des formes. In this piece, the timeline—traditionally unfolding horizontally—is raised vertically, following the structure of a ladder. Each rung marks a threshold, each painted form a trace in transformation. Inspired by glaciers, this fragile ascent evokes both elevation and disappearance. The ladder becomes a mental measure, a vertical axis stretched between memory and vanishing.

Voyage dans le cristal attempts to paint crystallization and fragmentation—zooming into the glacier’s ever-evolving forms. Placed beneath the sea’s surface, the work evokes the glacier’s deep connection to water, visible as visitors descend the stairs from the second floor.
