EP 09 - Satsuki Shibuya
For this episode I’ve invited Satsuki Shibuya, an established Painter, Poet & Spiritual Thinker working and living in Los Angeles, California. What I admire the most about Satsuki is her intuitive nature and spiritual practice and wisdom gained from years of experimentation, confusion, and a whole lot of divine trust. Her experience, beautifully infuses her light and dreamy paintings, her poetry and the way she show up as an human being. Enjoy the interview.

EP 07 - Laxmi Hussain
Laxmi Hussain is a Londoner, Visual Artist and a mother. Her work is now mainly focusing on the colour blue which she uses to explore the woman’s body in a very raw and honest way. I am very happy to introduce you to Laxmi, if you don’t already know her, as she is an important figure in my journey as an Illustrator. Back in early 2016, discovering her simple and powerful drawings on Instagram gave me the courage to start sharing mine as well, through “100 drawing a day challenge”. Overtime my portfolio developped and my career as an Illustrator started. I hope you’ll be as inspired by her as I am. Enjoy the interview!

EP 05 - Linda Pappa
I got the chance to interview Linda Pappa, one half of the talented creative duo Kinlake, on her recently blooming personal work as a Visual Artist. Originally from Luxembourg, Linda and her husband moved to Crete, a small Greek island to pursue a semi-nomadic lifestyle while running their creative businesses. We discussed about her creative journey, inspirations, mindset and lifestyle. Like me, you will be immensely inspired by Linda’s free spirit and effortless fusion between her daily life and her beautiful body of work. Enjoy the interview!

Customer Reviews
On the road to the authentic self.
Listening to Araki talk about her journey is a joy full of insights. The doubts, the courage, the curiosities she puts forward make me aware that we often share that same ingrained fears. We should not be afraid to connect with ourselves and be open to the kindness of the world around us.
