from Within
Discover a more intuitive, expressive and authentic way to paint.
Painting is more than creating something beautiful. It is a way of slowing down, reconnecting with yourself, and giving shape to emotions, memories and ideas that words cannot always express.
Whether you are looking for an original artwork for your home, or you want to rediscover your own creativity through painting, I invite you into a space where intuition leads the way and perfection is left at the door.
I'm an abstract artist, painting teacher and Art Life Coach.
For over twenty years, painting has been my way of exploring emotions and transforming inner experiences into expressive abstract works.
I paint primarily with my hands, allowing intuition, movement and emotion to flow directly onto the canvas. This intuitive process creates paintings that are raw, authentic and deeply alive.
Through my artwork and workshops, I invite others to reconnect with their creativity, trust their intuition and experience the transformative power of art.

Each session begins with 10 minutes of reconnection to yourself — sometimes through meditation, sometimes through dance (especially wonderful for children). It’s a simple way to let go, to step out of the noise of everyday life, and to reconnect with yourself and your breath.
-
What you’ll experience in my workshops:
A range of accessible, academic painting techniques for everyone
The fundamentals of composition and color
Original exercises designed to loosen up, let go, and release limiting thoughts
How to paint with your hands, your feet (kids love this), or even with branches, leaves, and other playful, unexpected tools
Themed sessions “in the style of…” to explore the world of great expressionist artists and discover your own unique voice
-
The class takes place in a real artist’s studio, tucked away in a courtyard on Rue de Grenelle in Paris. The space is beautiful, calm, and filled with natural light — a place that naturally invites you to slow down, disconnect, and step into creativity.

“After my class with Iris, I feel a real sense of well-being. It’s a complete letting go: my mind clears, I breathe, I reconnect with myself. I leave with renewed energy and vitality — it’s truly powerful. Iris has a rare presence and sensitivity. She guides with precision and without judgment, allowing each person to dare, create, and reveal themselves. Thank you, Iris, for these powerful and deeply restorative moments.”
— Nathalie T. “An exceptional teacher — both highly professional and deeply human. Each class is a moment of discovery, through the richness of the techniques and tools explored, as well as the quality of her guidance. She creates a truly calming space (…). Thanks to Iris, I dared to explore — even painting with my hands (…) — within an artistic and meditative approach. A truly beautiful encounter.”
— Antoinette M. “Thank you so much, Iris. Thank you for your listening, your kindness, and your care. Your classes are better than therapy!”
