Young artist from St. Martin
Born in 2000 in Saint Martin, Chamika Germain is currently an art student at the Campus Caraïbéen des Arts in Martinique. Her work speaks about child abuse in social services in Saint-Martin. Growing up as a foster child in the very same system, she realised she was in need for maternal love and a healthy family environment. From the nursery to the foster families. In her painting series, childhood Trauma and anxiety are expressed through very colorful and fearful dark sceneries. They are populated by monsters, creatures and entities that tell children imaginary and hers.
