MULTICULTURAL SETTING
Growing up in different countries, attending an International School and frequent travel has provided me with a unique perspective on diversity and inclusion. Having been in a school with students from dozens of nationalities, this multicultural setting broadened my worldview and understanding. I have also spent many years travelling the world which has deepened my…

MUSIC IS DIVERSITY
I have always been inspired by music as well as dance. Music, with its varied rhythms and captivating melodies, transcends borders and cultural barriers. It reminds us that the diversity of sounds and instruments creates a unique harmony. As an artist, I love to draw inspiration from music to create paintings that capture the energy…

FEELING DIFFERENT
I have always felt out of time. From my birth, I was born long before, then I was a girl, my two-year-old brother made me feel different. Without doubt this strengthened my conviction to become an Artist. Like my great-grandfather Léon Espérance who joined the Great War to become an army painter. I committed myself to defending…

RESILIENCE AND GRACE
Art has always been at the heart of my life, a passion that took root in my adolescence. Over the years, my passion for art has continued to grow. Alongside my teaching career, I have continued to paint. My paintings were figurative representations, landscapes, and portraits. Over time, I evolved towards abstract art, a field…

DIVERSITY, OUR TRUE WEALTH
I was born in French Guiana with Chinese origins, a Martinican father, and a heritage naturally composed of Africans and Amerindians. I studied in Bordeaux, worked in Paris before arriving in Geneva in 2020. Throughout my journey, I have been fortunate to travel a lot, and during my travels, I met people who seemed different…

RESPECT & GENTLENESS
I spent my childhood in a suitcase and got used to play and laugh with children from everywhere. It gave me a sense of freedom. How fascinating it is to see life from different perspectives and to try to understand other values and tastes. The mixing of cultures is a big asset when both parties…

EXPRESS WITH NO FEAR
I am very happy and grateful for how the world seems to be evolving in these aspects. One of the reasons why I left Colombia at 18 years old, it was because being gay and being an artist made life 10 times more difficult than usual. Now homosexuals can marry in my country. Now people…

TRANSPARENCY
This is the only chance that matter has to be crossed by the gaze of the beholder and allow him or her to access its interior and what lies beyond it. Depaoli celebrates transparencies as a fragile concept, a place of encounter and relationships, through organic marine materials. An invitation to reflect together on the…

SPACESUIT OF MY SOUL
An essential basic idea of my work is based on the idea that we are all astronauts who have been carried through the cosmos by “Spaceship Earth” since the beginning, while our own flesh and blood body plays the role of a “spacesuit” that is manoeuvred through earthly life animated by the spirit.

MATIERES & COULEURS
Plutôt ours solitaire qu’aventurier planétaire, je n’ai pas de message particulier à adresser au monde qui nous englobe et à ses incohérences qui me navrent. Dans mon atelier sous les toits, je mixe les noirs des fusains et des encres avec les blancs des pastels secs et des craies d’écolier. J’y inclus, par touches singulières,…
