I was brought up in bilingual family and as a child my favourite book was “Contes et légendes de l’Inde” (tales and legends of India), “The River”, a film by Jean Renoir attracted me to India.

For The European Night of Museums, I created at the “Musée des instruments” (Musical instruments museum) in Céret, (France) a floor painting inspired by the Indian musical scale and the symbolic representation of the notes. The technic is influenced by the Tamil kolam and the Kerala kalam.

Acquaintance with the ingredients (vegetable and mineral powders). Initiation to the drawing and colouring techniques (the hand becomes a tool). Learning of traditional designs.
