Stella Polare Artiste

I am an Uzbek–French artist.
Not by theme, but by life.

I was born between languages, gestures, and ways of caring.
Uzbekistan lives in me as memory, ritual, silence, and warmth.
France shaped my gaze — structure, distance, form, and visibility.

My work exists where these two worlds do not merge politely,
but rub against each other, creating tension, poetry, and truth.
Before fully committing to art, I worked in pediatric oncology.
There, I learned that beauty is not decoration.
Today, my practice unfolds through drawing, textile, and ritual gestures.
I create works that are meant to be lived with — worn, held, carried.
Art as a companion, not an object of domination.

Motherhood transformed my rhythm and my perception of time.

My work speaks about the feminine body, memory, transmission,
and the fragile dialogue between East and West —
not as an identity statement,
but as a lived condition.

I believe joy is not innocence.
It is resistance.
And living, like art,
is a conscious act.
