Johanna Durimel is a dynamic young woman from Guadeloupe, who has developed her love for arts through autodidacticism from a young age.
Raised in a family of five, she holds values such as sharing and solidarity close to her heart. Thanks to her parents, both involved in non-profitable social clubs, she is immersed in an environment where sports and culture are predominant.
Amongst her numerous talents as a visual artist, one particular technique has made her known in the general public: Painting with Natural Sand. Having at her disposal a wide range of colour palettes collected from the beaches of Guadeloupe and various other places in the world, she makes portraits of anonymous individuals. She has also created a collection of life-sized portraits of renowned characters that have influenced the history of the Caribbean.
