“My name is Séverine Rigaud, and my art studio is ELIKYA Art. I was born in the South of France, raised in the Congo RDC, and now live in the U.S. Simple sketching, coloring, and painting, in my youth ignited a lifelong passion for creativity. For me, art is a blended reflection of dynamic colors, patterns, and stories from my extensive travels around the globe. It is more than just a form of self-expression but also a bridge that connects people, transcending boundaries and celebrating the shared experiences of humanity.”
