Exhibition on Antillean Culture

Show & Culture

Painter Mirella Abenzoar centres her artistic practice on cultural transmission. Her distinctly figurative painting explores the iconography of the French Antilles. Using an intense colour palette inherited directly from her Creole roots, she documents the traditions and intangible heritage of Guadeloupe and Martinique. Her work is defined as committed art, conceived as an educational and emotional tool. Each canvas is a window onto the islands, intended to awaken buried memories and stir the heart of the diaspora. More than an aesthetic, it is a commitment: never to forget where one comes from.
