For her first exhibition in Seoul, DOAM draws its inspiration from traditional Korean music, captivated by the percussion and dazzled by the costumes.
« I had worked on the theme of jazz music in France; it was a theme that imposed itself on me upon arriving in Seoul. I wanted to show and share with the Korean public the works largely inspired by Korea for several years and the emotion aroused by the Samulnori.
I chose to paint the Samulnori because they represent Korean popular tradition. Samulnori comes from Nong-ak, the music of farmers; it is a folk music composed of acrobats, folk dances, and rituals inspired by shamanic and Buddhist traditions. Each percussion instrument represents a climatic element : Jing for the wind, Janggu for the rain, Buk for the clouds, and Kwaengwari for thunder, together creating the balance between heaven and earth. I also painted the masks and totems. »

"Jazz is what allows us to escape from everyday life." – Stéphane Grappelli.

« I've always been deeply inspired by music, for the dynamism, spontaneity, and improvisation it can convey, whether traditional (in Asia) or more contemporary (jazz, swing). I express my emotions to the rhythm of the music I listen to while painting. The colors vibrate, creating visual and emotional tension. »

"Music is the language of emotions." – Kant.

"Water is the driving force of all nature." – Leonardo da Vinci.

« Water, whether rivers, oceans, or seas, has always been part of my environment. Essential to my balance, water is omnipresent in my work. It symbolizes freedom, renewal, and the depth of being. Through it, I seek to convey the fluidity of life and the escape that its contact provides. »

« Humanity, in all its complexity, is also at the heart of my works. Through "Têtes de l'Art", I explore the duality of being, blending ink and acrylic in a controlled disorder, where lines and colors vibrate with emotion.
Painting is an inner journey that allows one to explore one's own world, understand oneself, but also to reflect on one's condition, the world, nature, existence. »

« As Picasso said, painting takes me away from the dust of everyday life and opens the doors to an ideal world.

I paint with increasingly pure and joyful colors to escape and offer a different perspective, a luminous escape. For me, painting is a vital breath, a space for sharing and harmony, a space of freedom where I can fully experience the present moment, connect with my emotions and those of others. »
