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.
About me
"Courage and kindness, always."
My name is Pascal Lagesse. I am a Mauritian artist. It was in 2003 that I started working on a very colourful style of painting, accompanied by geometric shapes. The use of graphics in the Zafer style stems in part from a simplification of the painter Vincent Van Gogh's touches. 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.

Why communication with the viewer matters to me
Every painting I create begins as a private conversation. Its an intimate exchange between the canvas and myself. But the moment a finished work is placed before a viewer, something remarkable happens: that private dialogue becomes shared. A new voice enters the exchange, a new set of eyes brings new interpretations and suddenly, the artwork no longer belongs to me. It becomes a bridge between two imaginations.
