Where does this artist come from ? One might wonder which country, which place ? How has Heitch come to us and what is this rather inconspicuous artist looking to achieve ?

During our first meeting one evening in Paris, we talked about her work. Not much was discovered about her origins, her training or even her family life since the artist says little about her personal life. And not much could be found out from her friends because they also seemed to know little...

So the nagging question of where Heitch is from, we could attempt the following answer: from the other end of the world. As the artist wants it, her origins are of no consequence since what matters most is her art. In fact Heitch is more expressive on this particular subject. We find out that she may have begun painting long ago, in her home country but it is in Paris that the artist found the most inspiration.

Heitch claims she relocated to this city for that reason.

First let’s look at the name Heitch that sounds like a cabalistic syllable or like maybe like a Hebrew letter or even a mantra. It could be that the name itself provides clues as to where to go to better understand the artist’s approach. Her work shuns all forms of representation and is reminiscent of religious art but with no form or symbols thus refuting any doctrine or any specific theology. There are no references here to any classical religion or to any esoteric traditions; her works stands out as if they were mental exercises, imaginary rituals or maybe even testimonies to some unforgettable life experiences.
