The Quiet Voice of a Wild Brush

Born in Cameroon, Africa, Chris entered the world amidst a vibrant tapestry of color and life — a sensory richness that seems to have left a lasting imprint on her creative soul.

Though naturally reserved and introspective by nature, her artwork tells a strikingly different story. On canvas, Chris sheds any trace of timidity. Her paintings erupt with bold, vivid colors and dynamic, unrestrained brushstrokes — a visual language that feels instinctive, almost primal.

Rooted in the principles of action painting, her style pulses with raw energy and emotional intensity. For Chris, expressive mark-making is not just a technique — it’s a second nature, a deeply personal form of release and revelation..

Artistic Training and Early Milestones

Though largely self-taught in spirit, Chris sought out formal instruction to refine her technical skills and deepen her understanding of the craft. In 2003, she traveled twice to Belgium to study under the guidance of renowned Belgian painter J.L. Desmet, whose mentorship helped shape her early approach to color, form, and abstraction.

That same summer marked a significant turning point in her journey: Chris sold her first painting, titled “Colour Reflecting a Dream.” This early work, rich in emotion and fluid composition, already hinted at her emerging identity as an abstract artist — one capable of translating inner worlds into vibrant, textured realities.
