Johana Derepas

It was with great luck that she could grow away from the noise, in a small village where she learned from nature all lust to get older. She was able to understand the importance of hearing what is silent, to feel what you see and look at by closing your eyes...
 
Discreet child, the need to create is quickly felt even if she still dreams of becoming an entomologist and to explore the roads to discover all the riches of this world...
 
Caught up in all the realities of the adult world, after a difficult second it is oriented on a BAC Professional crafts and crafts opt. Visual communication-4 years of training and internships rich in professional exchanges and meetings that will have known her passionate. Graduated successfully in 2010, the refusal of the major art schools to pursue her studies pushed her to consider things differently.
She settled in her account at the end of 2010 to practice the profession of graphic artist and painter. A promising experience where encounters and the fulfilment that she finds, always push me
further in the creation.
 
The flight of this first experience allows him in 2013 to acquire a right to the lease to open his own art gallery and his Office/workshop "Les Coquetteries d'Odette" - a beautiful project and an atypical universe that take shape much sooner than it had Imagined... What was to be a professional Discovery turns into a personal discovery.
 
From questioning in questioning, both sucked by art and suffocated by the "expectations"- the overcoming of everything and above all of itself...-in reality, she is only 23 years old at the time and she still wonders who is she to pretend to be...-it's a long personal battle
that begins, which will not allow him to have the shoulders to carry all this.
 
After 3 years of floating including a good year and a half of absence, it is in July 2016 that she sells the gallery. Three years of retrenching where art has, nevertheless, been a strong grip and anchor.
 
In 2016, she pushed the doors of a communication agency and a printing company to find a zone of appeasement-today project manager and artistic director in the same company, she continues in parallel to nourish her first passion and hopes one day to have the audacity to return exclusively in this fascinating world that the artist suggests.
