Painting Red coquelicots by Shahine | Painting Figurative Oil still-life

Shahine was born and spent her early years in Madagascar where her parents were working, but they quickly returned to France for their children's education. She studied in a business school in Paris where her creative instinct led her to carry out all of her internships in creative fields (textiles, design). She returned regularly to Madagascar where she was irresistibly drawn to the ambiance of the markets: colours, prints, pigments… Her friends and family encouraged her to devote herself to her art and so she decided to make it her living, and so began her artist life.
