My life, my inspirations
Stephia Claisse Gonzalez
Contemporary artist living in Mallorca, creating abstract oil paintings inspired by the Balearic Islands, the sea, and the mystical side of life. I believe in my dreams and I pursue them.
I love Islands, I spent some magnificent years in Ireland, enjoying the west wild Atlantic coast, I also stayed on the Aran Islands for some times. Unforgettable experience, that have help me forge my artist identity, and connect with the Celtic psyche.
About me
I was born in the North of France
My need to discover other cultures pushed me to live abroad
Early in life I was influenced by Artists native of my region, Auguste Herbin, Henri Matisse, Genevieve Claisse
I met my art mentor Donatella Cinquini Richtman when I travelled to Ireland, I spent many years working with her diving into the world of florentines art traditions.
I has always been clear to me that I wanted to pursue an artistic path and be an abstract painter.
I am also a performance artist
I facilitate Ancient Greek Silent Theatre workshop.
I created the Creative Art Activation.
Something amusing, I grew up believing, until I was about hum…ten or so, that all contemporary painters exclusively produced abstract art work lol then I was confronted with reality and found out the world is so much bigger!
“The extraordinary thing about art is that whether you need to create it, collect it, have a sensory experience, it will find you, or, you will find it, either way there will be an attraction. ”
