It is my pleasure to congratulate Action for Artistic Creativity (AAC) and its Chairperson, Mr. Dev Chooramun, for the Eco-Living exhibit. Such exhibit has gathered artists from Australia, Brazil, Chile, Estonia, France, Mexico, Norway, Seychelles Islands, South Africa, Tunisia and Mauritius and Rodrigues Islands.

This exhibit includes artists committed with the environment and who are worried to preserve and make awareness of the conservation and care of life on Earth, through their art.

Art is the universal form of expression. Through art, people from different cultures and languages can relate and communicate; this is why this exhibit is so relevant and important.

I am sure this exhibit will be a success for its organizer and all participating artists.

Congratulations!

Rosa Maria Burillo V.President of IAA- AIAP/UNESCO

Since twenty-six years, Action for Artistic Creativity (ACA/AAC) has been involved in activities related to the promotion and development of art in Mauritius. ‘Art Action’ has secured a well established place on our artistic calendar. ‘Art Action’ has become an annual feature in the field of art in Mauritius.

The present exhibition is the third International Exhibition organized by ACA/AAC. The theme of the exhibition is ‘Eco-Living’. Eco- Living is the art of living your dreams while minimizing your impact on the environment. Twenty- nine local reputed artists from Mauritius/Rodrigues Island and twenty- one foreign artists from Mexico, Brazil, Chile, Norway, Estonia, France, Tunisia, South Africa, Australia and Seychelles are exhibiting their artworks on Eco- Living in different medium-drawing, painting, printing, photography, digigraphy, collage, mixed- media & sculpture.

Free of Charge

Women from observation do not solely transmit cultural

knowledge , but advocate of changes through their daily

rituals and traditional practices, the washer women whose daily

earnings depended greatly on the river and the sun rays for cleaning and bleaching instead of polluting

the earth with chemicals… living in harmony with nature is becoming a dying tradition.. the sun motif is used as a symbol of hope which

attempts to provide a solution free of charge obviously !

world filled with what I represent. I want to live in a land of beauty,

free, plenty of life and pure lights. .. this requires putting the hand in the ground, taking care of water,

transparency and green colour of the life we are privileged , to brush

in ourselves and in the world.

A Leader in Eco-living

The vulture is a leader in Eco-living. Disposing of waste and

recycling. Eco-living is a mind shift for us human beings, not only to

protect nature but to protect all of nature. Although local tribes see the vulture as a symbol of

purification and as a symbol of promise that all hardship is

temporary and necessary for a higher purpose, this beautiful

creature usually stands in last line when it comes to conservation.

Lights of Hope

Eco-living to me means a harmonious and balanced

relationship between man and nature, with man needing

nature to sustain him adn nature needing man for conservation. I used lights and lightbulbs in my

work to symbolise hope in this instance the hope that eco-living

will result, in a better, cleaner earth for future generations.

The Polarity of Nature

Having attempted to eradicate and control nature, to discount

its blessings, we are all the more shocked by its destruction. For

most of us, nature is not the birth of a child, the bounty of food, or

health… nature is a hurricane, an earthquake, a flood, or and illness. Traditional peoples living in nature,

as a part of nature are naturally attuned to its ways. They know

the lesson of nature. It’s polarity: life/death, black/white, gain/

loss – that’s’the way of nature is the way of sacrifices. Creation is

suffering…whether we like it or not nature’s way is our way…

Un Paysage est un état d’âme. Qu’il soit Urbain ou de

Campagne, le paysage me procure une joie indicible !

J’eprouve souvent devant un beau paysage une émotion intense qui

me permet de sentir ou palper le beau et d’entrevoir l’idéal.

Cela explique,en quelque sorte, pourquoi ma démarche en art a toujours été centrée vers le

paysage qui est, et demeure pour moi “ un état d’âme”

Last Green Magic

Our world is finite. The fascinating beauty that it has is

precious and irreplaceable. Hence, my artwork shows that everyday the Earth is losing its

adorable resources and the magical feeling with nature. This feeling is a bouquet of gift to mankind that we are

The Tree

This painting is about the oneness and togetherness of people, flora

and fauna with Mother Nature. Here the great banyan tree with its luxuriant foliage and rich attractive

colors is rising majestically in the open and hospitable wilderness

of nature and has extended its inviting arms to people(man,

woman, children) and animal .The latter are basking peacefully in the warmth of its generous lap and are enjoying in the shade of its melody

and the splendor of its lush green growth. The cow has lost herself

in this haven of simplicity and heavenly pleasure.

Green Bath

As our natural resources need to be properly respected by making

good use of them without any abuse, Eco-living allows us to

become aware of our green environment and invite us to live a natual life. In this context, my

L'Union

Un, est un tableau qui symbolise l’union de l’homme et de la nature.

L’homme ne peut être dissocié de la nature car il en fait parti

intégrante lui même. Si l’homme prenait le temps de réfléchir a cela c’est certain qu’il la protégerait au lieu de lui faire du tort .Si l’homme

détruit la nature c’est qu’il se détruit lui-même
