Phuket-based contemporary French self-taught artist, Céline, has been honing her skills in the land of Smiles for the past several years.

After so many years living in Asia, Céline has a profound and genuine appreciation for the natural beauty of Asia’s people and culture.

Celine paintings present a lighthearted perspective of how Asian women could be portrayed. Her art draws inspiration from Asian female faces juxtaposed with the exposure of women in Asian society. Before painting, each canvas is covered with original vintage Japanese manga cartoons from her own collection.

The paintings depict first and foremost the strength and beauty of women portrayed against a subtle background of vintage mangas imagery carefully selected so she can tell her own story.

Each painting is playful with strong, bold colors that bring each image to life.
