The Unfinished Atelier

About being Unfinished

The place where my dragons live

The Unfinished Atelier is the place where I gather the things that I fill my days with and that belong to me: stories, paintings, questions, essays, unfinished identities, things I love to draw, paint, think and write about.

In a world that keeps asking us to become clear, useful and complete, to have definitions, data and answers, this private, unfinished little corner of the world is my place, a safe and gentle space where questions and unfinishedness have a right to exist, to breathe and to become.

The Unfinished Atelier is my philosophy of life. I live in it every day and invite people to come and discover its magic.

Read

My mind hops from thought to idea to question and to make sense of this wonderful life in my head, I write and write: I have a lifelong lovestory with words. You can find all the pieces finished and unfinished here: essays, field notes, stories, poems, articles and thoughts

Look

Creating is my way of making sense of the world. Here you’ll find paintings, sculptures and other things that I may collect or create. I’m an avid collector of unfininished beauty: things that I find on the street, branches that have a weird shape, a new idea …

Atelier

The place for my workshops, lectures, and a list of my services for companies, humans, animals and magical creatures. But nothing is written in stone in my world. I’d rather talk before working with you, so we both know where we stand.

I have a tendency to attract dragons. They can take different forms and shapes. You may have one on your shoulder, without being aware of it. In my Atelier, we can see what it has to tell you. We never ‘solve’ a dragon: it has a perfect right to be imperfect, and to exist, just like every creature.

A day in the life

Explore what is hidden and embrace what is unfinished

Paint, for there’s nothing else to do

The world is so beautiful and yet I lose myself in it almost every day. Painting helps me make sense, and discover what I feel. When paintings start talking to me, I know that I’m on the right track.

Curiosity as daily practice

I have a very tender relationship with Time. I sit with it on a regular basis to talk things through. I mainly ask a lot of awkward questions and contemplate my dragons :-).

See my words come alive

Since i was four years old, I had a very special bond with words. They hop and fly around in my Atelier, as little magical beings. I love it when I can combine them into sentences that make people feel their aliveness.

I work with companies and individuals that are interested in enhancing their creativity, looking at their blind spots and are willing to sit in uncertainty. I do not offer solutions: only a different way of looking and sharpening your questions.
