The Spring Enchantress: Anne Jaroussie and Gudula Becker in Port Andratx

The Spring Enchantress: Anne Jaroussie and Gudula Becker in Port Andratx

Where French craftsmanship meets Mediterranean soul

Imagine: ancient stone fragments, hand-painted with plant-based pigments. Large-format canvases that dance between abstraction and prehistoric primal energy. Fabrics and sculptures that bring a family of seamstresses, stonemasons and color masters back to life. This is Anne Jaroussie – the French artist from the Dordogne who has just arrived in Mallorca.

For The Spring 2026, At Kinsky Art & Living in Port Andratx presents the first public art dialogue between Anne Jaroussie and Gudula Becker – a collaboration born from a magical encounter where nature, artisanal heritage and contemporary poetry unite. Together they create an immersive world: female figures that awaken as if from prehistoric dreams; birds and stars bearing Jaroussie's signatures; textile installations that weave fashion and philosophy, ecology and beauty in a single breath.

Anne Jaroussie’s work tells two family stories at once. Her mother was a seamstress – every seam a gesture of care. Her father worked with stone, marble, pigments. In Java she learned the subtle chemistry of batik and natural dyes. In Périgueux she returned to her roots and rediscovered a studio philosophy: I no longer search. I am.

This exhibition is no coincidence. It is the fulfillment of an artistic vision that has matured over three decades – from couture houses (Kenzo) to the quiet, meditative creation in the southwest French landscape. Each work breathes slowness, mindfulness, resistance to fast fashion, and deep reverence for craft tradition.

The Spring 2026 invites you to experience this renewal – not as art objects, but as the diary entries of an artist who knows that beauty arises when hands think and the earth speaks.
