Daëna Ladéesse

Daëna Ladéesse is a multidisciplinary artist born in Paris to a Franco- Vietnamese father and an Afro-Caribbean and Indian mother and grew up between Paris and Saint-Claude, Guadeloupe.

She channels the divine feminine force and transcribes it in the form of painting and performance. Inter- generational handover is a key concept in her work. “ I believe that we are made of mostly non-us elements, such as water, earth, fire and air. But we also are made of ethereal matter, our descendants and ancestors. My work intend to convey the migrations, exoduses, movements of all the people that came before me as well as after. For me we are connectors between time and place. My work is an ode to trans-generational growth.”
