About the Artist
Light in the morning
Space in my thoughts
Space in my self.
Larger the horizon
Infinite directions
Where do I start?
Sparkles everywhere
In my heart.
-A new reality, Gisèle Tchitchiama

Gisèle Tchitchiama is a multidisciplinary artist. Her artistic’s practice is best-known for investigating the allure of freedom in her pictorial and abstract universe, and gives it form by examining the relationship between colour and brush stroke. Tchitchiama continually tries to clarify the transcendence of identity, an elegant fluidity in which a new sense of peace and gentleness is created.
A French artist, Tchitchiama concentrates on employing a powerfully evocative dreamscape, using distinctive strokes of paint that are like shadows of both force and lightness, creating a poetry between her profound use of colours, the material used and the act of creating. Tchitchiama Invites us to take a moment to enter our personal cosmos of light and intimacy with oneself, inspiring those who engage with her work, to rediscover the beauty of humanity within oneself.
Acrylic and watercolour informs Tchitchiama’s work in a way that dictates a universal language of our minds. Often created without any anecdotal or narrative aspect, Tchitchama’s work encompasses the essence of expression, purity and spirituality.
Inspired by much of Bach, Verlaine and T.S Elliot’s work, Tchitchiama reifies the worlds of these great intellectuals into a new space for viewers to dwell and renew one’s mind.
