I don t know if that s really a biography, i m just going to write a bit about me.
At first i wanted to be a vet. Than it turns about to a biologist. And it changed again. I went from zoologist to architect. So, at school a decided to go for science. I told my self that if i want to be successful later i need to choose between being a vet, a doctor, a lawyer or an architect. That was people always told me.
But than i started to get into art. Art has always been a part of me since i was young. i use to paint and draw since i was 5.
But in 2020, during the lockdown here in mauritius. I started to work a lit more on my art work. I didn t go to bed just to stay up until 3 in the morning to paint and draw what comes through my mind. And i was emotionally connected to all of my paintings and drawings. When i paint, i listen to music, and it s the same music i listen to for hours. Each painting is associated to a specific music. And there are some that are associated to more because it took a longer period to be finish, i stoppied because there were no inspiration than it came back through a new thing.
Apart music, i get inspired from memories and every day life, things i learn.
Each painting is associated to a music a memory and i can remember them when i look at the painting. And it s so overwhelming.
when i paint i go with the music, i can’t think about anything, it s just the music flow and the memories that appear in my eyes. It s a kind of bubble and i m in there when i paint. And when i come out it i feel happy, it feels good.
I associated that to meditation, and through that meditation i discover my “name”: HINGA
HINGA doesn t have a specific signification but it has a story. Few years back i went to see a guru and learn transcendental meditation and during a private session with him, he told that we would give me a mantra, a unique and personal mantra, HINGA, that represents me and that i needed to focus on it while i meditate.
To be honest, i wasn t interest in that king of meditation. But than, through painting i realized that “that my way of meditation. And that s how HINGA came up”
when i the lockdown was over and i had to go back to school, it was hard for me to not be able to paint. So i decided to take the gap year and explore mauritian art as much as possible. And maybe try to make myself known.
