Motherland
'Motherland’ invites viewers into the expansive, pastoral landscapes of the French countryside - places where memory, history and identity intertwine. Much like the 19th century romantic painters of l’Ecole de Barbizon who sought solace in nature, this series looks beyond mere scenery to capture a sense of belonging and timelessness.
From the lavender fields of Provence to rolling hills and vineyards of Champagne, these regions hold both individuality and a shared spirit, echoing a deep pride in their land . Yet beyond France itself, each work becomes a mirror, awakening something more personal: a yearning for one’s own Motherland.
Through these mixed media landscapes I hope to stir nostalgia - for summer days remembered or yet to come …. and to awaken that universal ache for the place where one’s roots, identity and longing reside.
