I love watching the sunrise over the mountains. The sky coloured in all shades of pink before the sun starts to show. The mountains glowing and looking so magical.

I painted this artwork with natural pigments from Roussillon which have been used since prehistoric times for the walls of the caves. In 1780, Jean Etienne Astier from the village of Roussilion discovered after processing ochre became an inalterable and non-toxic dye. Walking the Ochre trail was a magical experience where I visited this small village and bought the paint. Back in my atelier I created this artwork.

 I’m inspired by the unique shapes of the mountains, the trees, the flowers and the beautiful underwater world, the coral wonders in shades of orange and pink.

The ancient Greeks had two words for love: “eros” to describe sexual attraction and “philia” to capture the feeling of a person being an immensely close soulmate which is beautiful, because friends are important. Friendships can be as deep as being in love. It’s always been second nature to me to show my love and appreciation for those related or not, through words. Maybe we have to tell our friends, family and partners more often “I love you”.

I painted this painting on an early morning in Marrakesh at a little square, so her name is “Belle Matinée”. 

Early morning in the city. Marrakesh is waking up, sun is softly rising, the leaves of the palm trees are softly stirring. Soaking up the sounds and smells. The vegetable vendors, the donkey cards, bicycles and trucks that pass by. Soft pink morning light, so softly gleams. Beautiful morning.

I love to wander in the streets of Kyoto. She is like an ancient goddess in a beautiful flowing silk kimono patterned with blossoms.

The lighter side of life a little bit slower… A little bit less prepared leaving room for life to surprise you with so many wonderful things. Coloring the lines finding the silver lining. Light & pure. Softness with strength, new sensations. The light dances with the purity of the natural.

This painting is inspired by a woman I met during my travels to the Caribbean coast of Nicaragua. Her eyes and facial expression were so captivating, so strong, so full of love. I sketched her a lot and finished this painting after coming back home to my atelier.

An ode to sisterhood. Embrace the differences, the beauty of soulful sisterhood. Curious about each other’s choices, raising each other up, supporting & encouraging each other on the adventurous path that is life. Let yourself be surrounded by the spirit of the sisters. We shine bright together.

This painting was created during summer in a luscious garden with beautiful wildflowers.

The natural colours of the earth have a calming influence on me. I like to collect pieces of paper, leaves and dried flowers creating my own abstract world.

The sun rises
and the morning dew unveils its magic.
Shimmering droplets
adorning the earth with nature's jewels.
A moment of purity and rejuvenation. 
Pause, reflect, 
and cherish the beauty of the world.

I love the early morning dew on the flowers and fields sourrounding my home. Touched by the first sun strokes, they shine so brightly and create a magical atmosphere.

Palmier - the leaf of a king palm tree. 

The first time I saw a palm tree, I immediately fell in love with their shape and form, which is why I included it also in my logo tinystories.

Birds dancing in the purple coloured sky at the dawn of day, being free, being cheerful. Let's be like birds, welcoming the new day with joy.

The color blue takes on a special significance in summer. Associated with the warm and sunny days of this season, one of the most prominent instances of the color blue is the vast clear sky and the shimmering deep blue hue of the wide ocean. Invite a part of the ocean and the sky inside your home.

Jade is one of my favorite Gemstones. Considered one of the most precious stones of the East, it is said to strengthen love and happiness, balance and harmony. As a stone of the heart it is believed to help moving past wounds and fulfill dreams.

Korean Hanbok, the traditional Korean dress consisting of jeogori (top) and chima (skirt). Vibrant colors often characterize the dress, correspond with the five elements of the ying-and-yang theory, namely metal, fire, wood, water and earth.

Morning sunlight, beauty in the serenity of silence. Portraits are expressive of one’s deepest emotions, thoughts, feelings. It creates an experience that allows one to gain clarity or connect with the artwork on a deeper level.
