Shamanisme

Shamanisme – Temple Kamakhya, Nilachal Hills, Guwahati, Assam – Diptych, 2013

This diptych, with its intimate perspective and chromatic richness, offers a close glimpse into a ritual within the sacred setting of the Kamakhya Temple in Northeast India, a site central to Hindu spiritual practice. The imagery dwells on the tactile details of the ceremony — from the textures of offerings to the gestures of practitioners — unveiling a living tradition where spiritual devotion, plant medicine, and cultural heritage converge.

The Immensity of Peace and Silence

The Immensity of Peace and Silence, Naxi Dongba minority, Yunnan Province, Southwest China – Diptych, 2012

This diptych evokes moments of quiet presence within the Naxi Dongba community, whose living traditions weave together shamanic rituals and a unique pictographic script. The images dwell on the nuances of gesture, texture, and light, offering a visual meditation on creativity, cultural continuity, and the subtle magic of everyday life. Through intimate framing and a contemplative sensibility, the work resonates with the spirit of European humanist photography while opening a window onto the vibrant heritage of one of China’s most culturally rich minority communities.

The next two artworks have been produced from a performance art for video entitled “There is a little bit of absurdity in everything (Oakland, California, August 15th 2005, filmed by Reed Rickert),” the video of which was later transformed in a visual programming language called MAX Jitter to create abstract shapes from the performance art.

National Jewel

Drung Valley, Yunnan Province, Southwest China. 2012

Located at the foothills of the Himalaya mountains on the border of Northern Myanmar and Northwestern Yunnan province in Southwestern China, the Drung Valley is one of the wildest and most remote valleys in China. This region has been classified by UNESCO as a Biosphere Reserve as well as a World Heritage Site, and is home to a rich biosphere, rare indigenous species of plants and animals. The Drung minority has a total population of approximately 6000 individuals. Drung women born before 1949 have their entire face tattooed. I was told by my host that this practice, which was banned by Mao Zedong in 1949, aimed to protect women from other tribes. There were 18 of these women still alive when I visited the mountain village in 2012. They are considered national treasures by the Chinese government. A road was built to access the valley in 1998, and until the building of a new highway in 2014, the valley was closed off for part of the year during the winter season. During my travels to the Drung valley in 2012, I was told by my host that about 50 foreigners a year had travelled to the valley since 2009.

Art Critic

This article, written by art critic André Seleanu, discusses my work based on my summer exhibition at Gallery Espace in Montreal, August 2023. French art historian Aude de Kerros, a specialist in the sociology of contemporary art, considers Seleanu’s work essential for understanding the conceptual foundations of contemporary art (The Hidden Art Finally Revealed, Eyrolles, Paris, 2023).

About the Artist

Art, Ecology & the Sacred: When Art becomes Knowledge

Lady B (Bérangère Maïa Natasha Parizeau)’s artwork arises from a deep engagement with the living world. Through ecological awareness and interdisciplinary methods, her creative process seeks to reveal how the language of art contributes to understanding and experiencing reality. She is fascinated by the ways in which art conveys fragments of the human experience.

Soul Art, as a living ritual, becomes an inquiry into the liminal spaces where visual poetry, ecological sensitivity, and curiosity converge.

Through her practice, Lady B explores the ecology of the sacred: those moments when life itself becomes poetry, bridging inner awareness and the outer landscape. The creative act becomes a rite of passage — a path of healing — where transformation intertwines with the rhythms of time, impermanence, renewal, and rebirth.

Her work embodies the more abstract dimensions of life — tracing subtle energies and movements that connect the visible with the invisible. In this sense, her art evolves toward an eco-spiritual poetics, aligning artistic expression with contemporary reflections on sustainability, creativity, and the renewal of contemplative and ecological consciousness in fine art.

Critic André Seleanu (AICA, Montréal) has described Parizeau’s work as carrying “a unique sense of presence” — merging ethnography, ecology, politics, and art into a multi-layered investigation of the human experience.
