Sound Artist – Researcher - Sound Healer

My artistic universe draws inspiration from Greco-Roman and Celtic mythology, ancient chants, traditional polyphonic singing, the natural world, and the exploration of the human psyche. Combining field recordings, live looping, plant music, and electroacoustic composition, my work explores the profound connections between human emotions and the living world.

I trained at the French Academy of Sound Therapy and studied therapeutic tarot. For more than ten years, I have also practiced Tibetan Buddhism and the Bön tradition under the guidance of Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche, whose teachings on meditation, healing, and the relationship between sound, consciousness, and the living world have deeply influenced my artistic practice.

After beginning my musical career in England, I spent several years living in Berlin, where I became part of the city's experimental music scene and the international female:pressure network. I have recently settled in Marseille, where I feel deeply connected to the light, landscapes, and cultural heritage of the Mediterranean, as well as to my Greek roots.

In 2018, an artist residency at Fish Factory, in the remote fjords of eastern Iceland, marked a turning point in my creative journey. Surrounded by these powerful landscapes, I began developing an artistic and philosophical inquiry into the Earth, the living world, and what I now call Emotional Ecology. This body of research grew from my direct experiences in nature as well as from the writings of Stephen Harrod Buhner, particularly The Secret Teachings of Plants and Plant Intelligence and the Imaginal Realms. His vision of the intelligence of living systems, the heart as an organ of perception, and our intimate relationship with nature has profoundly shaped my artistic practice.

Since then, I have developed interdisciplinary projects that weave together sound art, ecology, spirituality, and emotional intelligence. My multimedia project SUPERNATURAL brings together concerts, plant music performances, immersive experiences, sensory workshops, and participatory installations to explore the subtle relationships between human beings and the plant world. Inspired by the poetic metaphor of photosynthesis, the project reflects on our capacity to transform our emotions—an inner form of photosynthesis that invites us to care for ourselves, one another, and the Earth.

In 2022, I collaborated with HeartMath, composing the meditation music collection Music of the Heart for their wellness application Inner Balance™ Coherence Plus, dedicated to heart coherence practices.

Through all of my work, I seek to create spaces where art becomes an experience of reconnection. I see music as a language of the living world—one that awakens our sensitivity, nourishes our imagination, and reminds us that caring for our inner ecology is inseparable from the way we inhabit and care for the Earth.

My Artistic Approach

“As an artist, I aim to weave connections between human emotions and sound vibrations. Plant music is, for me, a tool for learning about and better understanding the living world that surrounds us, as well as the broader, collective consciousness of our planet.

Through my work, I invite each listener into an intimate dialogue with their emotions, perceptions, and imagination.”

Manifesto

I create art as an invitation to remember.

To remember that beneath the noise of everyday life exists a quieter language—the language of the living world, of emotions, of dreams, of intuition, and of the invisible threads that connect us to one another.

For as long as I can remember, I have been fascinated by mythology, symbolism, altered states of perception, and the mysterious intelligence that seems to flow through nature. I believe that the world is alive, not only through its ecosystems but also through the relationships we cultivate with it. The visible and the invisible are constantly in dialogue.

The name Wild Anima reflects this vision. Wild evokes the untamed force of nature, while Anima refers both to the soul and to Carl Jung's archetype of the creative feminine—the living, intuitive dimension that exists within every human being. It is also the soul of the forest, the hidden intelligence of plants, the silent wisdom of landscapes that have been evolving for millions of years without ever needing words.

Through music, I seek to create spaces where listening becomes an act of presence. My compositions weave together voices, plants, field recordings, electronics, ancient chants, and silence to invite audiences into a slower relationship with themselves and with the living world.

At the heart of my work lies what I call Ecology of Emotions.

I see emotions as living ecosystems rather than problems to solve. Just as forests regenerate after fire, rivers reshape their own course, and plants transform light into life through photosynthesis, I believe we too possess an innate capacity for regeneration. We can learn to transform grief into tenderness, fear into courage, and separation into connection. I call this process inner photosynthesis.

To me, art is not simply something to be observed. It is something to be inhabited. A space where perception expands, where sensitivity becomes knowledge, and where beauty is experienced as a form of care.

Many of my projects explore the subtle dialogue between humans and the more-than-human world. Not to speak fornature, but to listen with it. I am interested in what becomes possible when we approach the living world with curiosity instead of certainty, with presence instead of control.

I deeply believe that tenderness is a transformative force, our super-power.

In a culture that often values speed, productivity, and certainty, tenderness asks us to slow down, to remain open, and to stay vulnerable enough to be moved. It is not weakness but a profound form of resilience. Like diamonds formed under immense pressure, our hearts also have the capacity to transform difficulty into wisdom, compassion, and creative power.

Through concerts, immersive installations, plant music, rituals, and participatory experiences, I create spaces where people are invited to reconnect with themselves, with one another, and with the Earth.

Because I believe that caring for our inner ecology is inseparable from caring for the planet.

And perhaps that is what art can offer today:

not answers,

but experiences that help us remember we belong to the living world.
