Since her first solo exhibition, aged only seventeen, Salonee Nirsimloo-Lallah has developed, over the years, her own visual identity, drawing from mythical sources, geographical or psychic spaces and a colour palette sometimes infused with a dreamy melancholy, and sometimes exploding with a violent inner density. Constantly reinventing herself, the artist nevertheless continues to look unflinchingly and passionately at her native island and the richness and complexity of its numerous identities in order to create a body of work that never ceases to surprise.
