♥ Do you remember your first aesthetic shock?
My first time at the Centre Pompidou, I remember the “slightest” detail.

♥ The artist you would like to meet? What would you say to her?
The great Frida Kahlo whom I would thank for being such an inspiring woman.

♥ What is your favourite colour? What does it inspire you?
I like all colours in general, but if I have to choose just one then I would say blue, it is the colour that is most often found in my paintings and represents summer for me.

♥ Which museum gives you the greatest emotion? Why?
The Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, just the structure alone is a work of art.

♥ Which work of art would you buy without hesitation if you had an unlimited budget?
Without hesitation one of the paintings from the “Anthropometries” series by Yves Klein. I love both the original idea of the work and the final result.

♥ In which city do you feel happiest? Why do you think so? Share your 3 favourite addresses.
It’s not a city but an island… The island of Ré for all my incredible family holiday memories.

My three addresses:

• Lunch with your feet in the water at Grouin’s cabin.
• The market of Ars at the foot of the port.
• La Martinière to eat the best pistachio ice cream.

♥ What book keeps you up all night?
Philippe Labro’s “Chocolate Pickles”.

♥ What are your biggest sources of inspiration?
My mother and her Reunionese origins as well as the great artist Frida Kahlo. Women inspire me in general, I love to paint them.

♥ What’s the funkiest thing you’ve done in your life?
Quit everything to paint.

♥ What is your definition of happiness?
I have several moments of happiness…. The sun when we open the shutters in the morning, my mother’s coconut cake, landing in Reunion Island…
