 
FLORA is an artist in the visionary mode, crafting wonderfully inventive and enchanting works. Her paintings give the impression of exploding with boundless energy. Seemingly complete abstraction gives way to our sense of order as surrealist scenes unfold before our very eyes. Animals, figures, and plants within tumbling landscapes appear to drift toward us. Phantasmagoric panoramas vibrate with radiant hues and viscous, tactile brushwork. FLORA works with encaustic wax on canvas in a style she has dubbed "Cosmogéologie," building up layer after layer of lucid color. This style forces viewers to allow the painting to wash over their senses, giving way to the disguised imagery within. There is a magical quality to her paintings as if the world is being experienced through the most innocent of eyes. This sense of wonder is an inseparable facet of her art. You can feel an artist reaching towards the unknowable, an ineffable yet poetic force. "Pictures, reflections of an inspiring presence, tell about pieces of life," she declares.
FLORA resides in the Toulouse region of France.
