Oil portrait of Julie Painting

Bonjour, I’m a 35-year-old freelance artist hailing from the picturesque streets of Paris. I pursued Art & Design at the CREAPOLE-ESDI School of Design in Paris, graduating in 2014 with honors : "coup de coeur du jury". Since then, I’ve carved out a successful career as a freelance artist and fashion designer. My art delves into the intricacies of my life – the narrative of a child adrift between two countries: the land of his mother and the land of his birth. He left behind one country, shedding its cultural ties, while embracing another, fully immersing himself in a culture foreign to his own. My work explores the journey of a child devoid of anchors, never truly finding a place to call home. Adrift, the only semblance of belonging emerged aboard a boat amidst the Mediterranean Sea, surrounded by other children like him, stuck between two identities.
