Tara Soultana

The meeting between a queen and a sultana can only spark ... joy. A meeting that frees itself from time and space like my works which invite you on an astonishing journey, where the past, the present and the future merge. Around this magnificent bust of Marie-Antoinette, the last queen of France, shadows and lights reveal profiles and improbable situations that it is up to you to discover.

Self-taught photographer for more than 20 years, I use in my digital creations, the same approach as that of abstract painting to build an original visual language. My color sublimation techniques, my quest for the improbable and the mystery, place my work in the wave of visionary, reactionary and surrealist art.

The national museums of Ile-de-France, where I hosted the rooms, are my places of inspiration (Palace of Versailles, Center Pompidou ...). French native of Pondicherry (India), I spent my childhood and my adolescence in Madagascar before arriving in France in 1977. Exhibiting my works is to represent the cultural diversity of France.
