THERE’S A CONSISTENT SENSE OF ELEVATION AND TRANSCENDENCE IN YOUR IMAGERY. DO YOU CONSIDER YOUR ART A FORM OF HEALING—FOR YOURSELF, FOR THE SUBJECT, OR FOR THE VIEWER?

Absolutely. My art is a form of transmutation that leads to healing—for myself, for the subject, for the collector, and even for the viewer. I deeply believe in the power of art to restore, to soothe, to awaken. Through movement, presence, and intention, I create spaces—both physical and emotional—where healing can begin.Each photograph is born from a ritual: a letter burned, a moment of breath, intuitive movement guided by music and emotion. These acts are not random; they are invitations to release and to receive. There is always a frequency of healing embedded in my process, because everything is done with care and sacred intention.The drapery in my work also holds symbolic weight. It is like a second skin—a metaphor for transformation, much like a snake shedding what no longer serves it. It is also reminiscent of comfort, like the soft sheets we retreat to when we need rest. Draped fabrics become both armor and balm—offering protection, softness, and a sense of becoming. In this way, my art mirrors the regenerative power of the body and spirit. It is both a visual and energetic portal for healing—one that holds space for vulnerability, strength, and quiet transcendence.

THE VISUAL VOCABULARY OF YOUR WORK—BLUR, VEILS, PEARLS, MOTION—FEELS LIKE A LANGUAGE OF MYSTERY. HOW IMPORTANT IS AMBIGUITY AND INTERPRETATION IN YOUR STORYTELLING?

Ambiguity and interpretation are at the heart of my artistic vision—they are what keep the work alive. I believe that a piece of art must remain open, fertile, mysterious, so that the viewer can return to it over time and continue to see and feel something new. As we evolve through our own life journeys, the artwork reflects different aspects of our inner world, even though its physical form remains unchanged.Elements like blur, veils, pearls, and motion are not decorative—they are portals. They allow us to see what is normally invisible, to feel rather than to identify. They offer a kind of sensory breath, something alive and intangible.This open-ended visual language invites us to pause and wander—something we rarely allow ourselves in our daily lives, often dominated by overstimulation, screens, and constant noise. Through this poetic ambiguity, I seek to create a space of slow contemplation, where mystery becomes a form of presence, and presence becomes a form of truth.

Your photographs possess a painterly and almost otherworldly quality. Can you walk us through your creative process—how does a piece begin and evolve?

The most essential element of my artistic process is energy—particularly the embodiment of movement and presence. My work begins with a vision or an inner impulse, often rooted in a poetic or symbolic intention. In the studio, I revisit this vision through breath, gestures, and spoken word, allowing it to guide the body and atmosphere of the session.

Movement plays a central role in my compositions. I often work with long exposures—ranging from 0.4 to 2 seconds—so that the camera captures the ephemeral, the in-between, a kind of consciousness within randomness. This technique allows me to dissolve the mechanical nature of photography and evoke a sensation that feels closer to a brushstroke or a surreal flow of energy.

After each session, I am left with a multitude of images. I carefully select and blend between 15 to 20 photographs, keeping only the fragments that carry emotional resonance or visual transformation. Through layering and compositing, I sculpt a final image by both subtracting and adding—until what remains speaks with a universal language, something beyond the visible. The final piece is an alchemical process of transmutation—where photography becomes painting, and the human form becomes a vessel for the unseen.

Focus Art Fair marks Rizlane’s first international exhibition, a defining milestone in her artistic journey.

Presented at the heart of Chelsea in New York with the support of the Sotheby’s Institute, the fair became a powerful stage for the Québec artist to connect with an inspiring network of creatives and professionals. Among them were remarkable Artist’s such as Angela Nikolau and J. Ruel Martin, whose presence added a deep human dimension to this inaugural experience.

One of Rizlane’s major works found its collector for $15,000 USD, positioning her as a compelling voice within the sphere of contemporary emerging art. This moment not only validated her unique vision, but also marked her official entry onto the international scene—an emergence grounded in authenticity, poetic depth, and spiritual resonance.
