If you were an emotion?

 

Have you ever wondered what kind of sensitivity your personality most aligns with?

Visual art and sensitivity have this in common: It is hard to put words on it. But it’s not because we can’t talk about something that it doesn’t exist.

So I decided to skip the words part, I devised an intuitive test that connects drawing styles with sensitivity profiles.

About

 

Through my art, I help dreamers celebrating their connection with nature. I use nature and horses to interpret what people feel and translate their sensitivity into drawing or painting.

Hypersensitive and raised with social conventions that discouraged the expression of emotions, I first attempted to adapt to the external world by denying my emotions until “I was out of my feeling”.

At age 25, I was diagnosed with a life-threatening disease that turned my life upside down. I started to paint again. I connected with nature through my work with the World Wildlife Fund.

I was very impressed to meet with communities who live everyday in an hostile nature like in Namibia. It gave me the courage to face my sensitivity.
