How Motherhood Is Transforming My Artistic Practice

There are moments in life when everything slows down.
When you find yourself face-to-face with who you truly are, swept up in emotions so deep they redraw your inner landscape.

I am in one of those moments.

A Powerful, Gentle Transformation

Carrying life for the third time makes me tremble.
With fear, with joy — with all the intense emotions that arise during a major shift.

And yet… I’ve never felt so grounded.

This pregnancy is different.
Not more important, but more connected.
I feel deeply in tune — with myself, and with the being growing inside me.

This inner connection brings me a new kind of clarity.
A quiet strength.
I know, more than ever, where I want to go.

What Matters Most: Connection

This clarity brings me back to the essence of my work:
👉 nurturing connection.

The connection I build with you —
those who follow my work,
those who visit my exhibitions,
those who step into my studio.

It is thanks to you that my paintings come to life, that they carry meaning beyond me.

A New Offering, Born from Deep Reflection

Over the summer, I moved through a profound period of introspection — gently shaped by this pregnancy and the rhythm it imposed.

And from that space of slowness and listening, an idea emerged:

→ To create bespoke artworks, inspired by you.

Artworks born from your stories.
Your emotions.
Your inner constellation.

Each piece will be a mirror —
a symbolic reflection of what you’re living through.
A painting that unfolds from our exchange, like an extension of your emotional landscape.

Creating Differently: Slower, Deeper, More Attuned

This pregnancy is changing how I paint.
It asks me to slow down.
To listen more closely — to myself, and to others.
To create from a place of presence.

Art becomes a space of dialogue.
A space of connection.
A way of deepening the bond between my practice and those who experience it.

So I’m Sharing This With You

Because it feels true.
Because it feels aligned — both personally and artistically.

If this offering speaks to you,
if the idea of an artwork born from your own journey resonates with you…
