Taua means values is samoan and the aim of this website is to brighten up the importance of values, values that can change thoughts and your life's vision. As an emerging artist I would like to show what is important for me, with the hope to influence people and give them a good example of my values. Here you can find my final experimentations. They reflect what I find fascinating in nature, especially plants, women's bodies and the changing of ideals within generations.
I was born in Nice, France, but I was raise in Italy, in a small village by the coast.
Since a young age I found interested the art's world, especially Fashion and Photography, but by growing up I choose a different path that allow me to be the artist I am now.
My mum is an important figure in my career because she pushed me to undertake art school.
After have travelled in different places, I decided to come to London and start my study career by taking a Diploma Foundation in Art and Design at City Lit. After I progress my studies at London College of Communication in Illustration and Visual Media.
I spent my childhood surrounded by nature, that is the reason why most of my art work is based in it.
I particularly believe that plants can positively help to cure mental health issue, especially anxiety and depression which is very high risk in young generations and I am one of those. I personally found a strong connection between plants and humans, especially women as I think that both of these species are beautiful and powerful, just because they are generating new life.
I have always been fascinated as to how many different types of plants there are in the world, and how each of them is unique, and that is why it is rare to find two identical kinds of plant even in the same family. The same is for women's bodies and that is why through my digital and hand Illustrations, and modified developed photos I am highlighting this cause.
