Emerenciana Floranda

"I am a Philippine-born painter based in France, where my journey into the arts truly began in 2005. What started as a return to a long-dormant talent for drawing - a refuge when language failed me, has become the heartbeat of my professional life. After refining my craft at the Beaux-Arts de Paris, I traded the world of marketing for a life of colour, eventually winning the 2014 painting prize in Chevreuse.

Vision:
"My work is an evolution of freedom. I travel between realism and surrealism, often wandering through the realms of abstraction and art naïf. While I have a deep-rooted love for portraits, contemporary art has liberated my imagination, teaching me to find a hidden beauty in the "imperfect" and the imprecise.
I see my paintings as a bridge between my internal visions and your personal reflections. Every word I hear and every gesture I witness becomes a brushstroke, documenting memories and stories through a lens that is uniquely mine. Whether through a commissioned piece or a session in my home studio, my goal is to create a space where you can lose—and find—yourself in the work".
