Naïma Namaste | Artist's Journey

"Painting is like a voyage to me: I dive into these memories of all my explorations of the visible world and inner world.

When traveling, I find it really special to be in the wilderness.

I let my body connect with my surrounding and absorb through all my senses Nature's gift."

"Art is healing and magical.
For the one creating it and for the one receiving it.

There is a connection and share of energies that I love.

It's pure, it's authentic and raw."

Naïma

I know each painting I create belongs to someone.
That's what makes me happy.

When I paint, I am wild and free in each brushstrokes I lay,
I experience such a bliss just like when I'm at the end of a trail,
or on top of a mountains..."

The
inner child.

Naïma was born in Normandie.

A place dear to her and filled with memories of Artists and Masters spending their time painting plein air...

"Exploring the world bring us back to our inner child, it innates creativity, joy and lead to live a vibrant life in the inner and outer world. "

Naïma

At the age of 12, she visited the house of Claude Monet, Paris, le Louvre and new doors unexplored opened again and bringing back that creative force. She knew she wanted to be an artist.

As of today she lives in south west of France, not too far from the ocean painting everyday.

She loves to travel and has been painting in her favorite places such as the SRF Meditation gardens in Encinitas California, Canada, Spain...

Some of her art is exposed in Vancouver Island.

"Traveling to catch a glimpse of the wild and transmit it into my art, is part of my endless journey of self discovery. I believe it is the wilderness that we find ourselves and go back to who we truly are".
