Artist Statement

My name is Gaia, I am an artist who plays between imagery, installation and publication. Currently, I'm based in Paris, France. Observation and careful curation are the essence of my work. For the past many years I have mostly focused on documentation of life in outdoor sports, environment issues whilst also creating visuals as a mean of memory and message
My artistic practice is a blend of documentation and creation which aims to create a tactile connection between the textures and emotions evoked by the images. Through this process, I aim to convey not just a visual narrative but a sensory experience that mirrors the intensity and depth of human engagement with nature and themselves.
To create a community and platform for athletes practicing extreme sports i started my own publication called Balance which focuses on the untold stories of individuals thriving in extreme sports, like climbing, surfing, snow sports, air sports. Through this project, I aim to amplify the voices of those who have long remained unseen in these fields, capturing the spirit of adventure and the bonds formed with nature in the face of adversity.
At the core of my work is a belief in the power of nature to challenge, heal, and inspire. Through my installations and publications, I hope to encourage a deeper understanding of how we, as humans, can live in harmony with the world around us.
