About this artwork
"Staring" is a captivating portrait in cream and white tones, painted directly onto a luxurious patterned fabric found in the Dubai Souq.
The character's intense gaze, framed by a scarf and a delicate veil, evokes both mystery and timeless elegance.
With its bold contrasts and refined details, this work unites the sophistication of haute couture with the emotional depth of figurative art.
The textured background of the fabric enriches the composition,… giving it relief, warmth and uniqueness.
Both powerful and delicate, Staring explores themes of identity, femininity and inner strength, making this portrait an unforgettable work.

Neapolitan by my father, steeped in church icons,
and French through my mother, rooted in the elegance of Parisian chic,
I grew up in a small Swiss village where, dressed in Pierre Cardin, I stood out.
Fashion quickly became both my armor and my vulnerability.
Mocked for my clothes, I learned how much appearance shapes the way we look.
Then art changed everything: my fragility became a creative force.
For me, fashion is a social mirror revealing how an era perceives women.
From Botticelli to Kim Kardashian, the icons change but the questions remain.
Trained by a renowned Swiss artist before joining ECAL, I exhibited in Geneva and London from 1999.
Now based in the Emirates,
I paint on fabrics chosen in the souqs: memory, skin, symbol of a celebrated and powerful femininity.
