Artist Pascale Taurua draws upon her glamorous lifestyle for her contemporary figurative artwork.
Born in New Caledonia in 1960, she studied "the work of Gauguin" at the Conservatory of Arts in Papeete, Tahiti and there she set up her first exhibition.
The former Miss France certainly knows something of the world of glamour, having won the competition at the age of 18. However, she turned to the world of art for expression, returning to New Caledonia to continue her true passion.
In 1986, she won the prize art competition organized by The Rotary Club in Noumea as well the one in 2008 in the city of Pau in France.Pascale Taurua's work conveys the empowerment of fashion, aiming to inspire self-love and confidence through her oil paintings. Fashion inspires mood, colour, atmosphere and texture, all to create personal work with emotional impact.
“Clothes are a way of expressing sensitivity and a vision of the world,” says artist Pascale Taurua.
