About Linda Bachammar
What inspires you?
I am inspired by the creation of an art that unites the human species and nature, human hope and spirituality, the mysterious. I am fascinated at the same time by the creativity of nature, esotericism and certain human customs such as carnival with a very pronounced taste for costumes.
Describe your creative process.
Often it is a meeting with a place, a person, a situation. I take a lot of photographs and I will be inspired by them to lead to the sketch that I have in mind. Then meditations, dreams, writings will feed me and make me realize combinations that allow me to go further and imagine a unique and personal scene. But the real work will face the canvas where the idea can still take a different turn.

What is the best piece of advice you have been given?
As a child I was particularly fond of literature and poetry, and I read all the great classics at a young age. I felt like I was communicating with great authors.

In nature, especially in the forest which is my indispensable resource for living and creating.
