MAURITIAN ARTIST - ARTISTE MAURICIEN
Welcome to my website
I am a Mauritian artist inspired by my island in the Indian Ocean. Born in Mauritius in 1968, I've spent my life near its beautiful beaches and lush tropical vegetation. My artistic journey began at 16, and I have continually explored the art world.
My love for my island shapes my work. Since 2003, I’ve developed my unique painting style characterised by geometric shapes and bright colours, which aims to paint happiness amid the world's gloom.

The spirals and circular shapes that we find in his painting “Starry Night” and the almost geometric shapes of the painting “Dandelion Meadow” caught my attention and I wondered what a painting would look like in which these touches of paint were simplified. This is how I started making paintings with circles, spirals, squares, triangles, lines and dotted lines.

It’s like meditation with a brush in hand. The repetition helps me clear my thoughts and stay fully present in the moment.
Each circle, triangle, dot or line adds...
