As we welcome the arrival of 2024, I’d like to take a moment to reflect on the highlights of 2023. Moments filled with creativity and encounters that shaped an unforgettable year.
The year kicked off with my illustrations for the Loggia Bar and Tosca restaurant at the Splendide Royal Paris Hotel. These pieces captured the essence of Parisian elegance, marking the beginning of a series of successful collaborations.
Then, as an active member of the BULC, a private club of Parisian socialites, I had the pleasure of leading a masterclass on creative energy with my friend and fellow artist, Jaydena de Martel. This enriching experience continued at the Soho House in Paris, where I conducted two workshops on awakening creativity, sharing my passion and vision with curious and eager minds.
And then
The year also included a period of introspection during my video interview by Alexia Neveu. This conversation explored the various facets of my creativity, allowing me to share my perspective on art, my inspirations, and my future ambitions.
Two major exhibitions punctuated the year. First, my studio in Paris hosted a private exhibition themed “Spring colors,” attracting collectors and personalities from the art world. Then, the exhibition at the Salon des Beaux-Arts was a true triumph, allowing me not only to showcase my works but also to sell my paintings to discerning collectors.
This was followed by the Arts and Culture Dinner, where I had the honor of receiving the Fine Arts Prize. This distinction is not only a recognition of my artistic evolution but also a testament to the growing appreciation of my work in the art world.
However, the highlight of this year is undoubtedly the opening of my online store, a significant milestone in my career as an artist that establishes a direct connection between my creations and you.
Finally, let’s not forget the “Be My Muse” competition in November, which opened a new path for collaboration and interaction with you!
Looking forward to the future, I am filled with anticipation for the adventures, artworks, and connections to come. Thank you for being part of this journey. Together, let’s welcome 2024 with creativity and passion.
Happy New Year to all! and Welcome 2024 from Oriane Sossah
