By opening this book, the reality fades for the benefit of an imaginary world filled with colors andwith life. Forget where you are and enters to discover the magic of these paints.I walked during long days myself along these pages, of city in town, timeless, in a kaleidoscopecolored with curves and with volutes. It was impressive to let me carry by the movement of thesethousand circles, loops and hyperboles to guess the hypersensitive sensibility and the sincerity oftheir creator.By entering in drawings, I also traveled this charming garden strewed with strange flowers, brilliantbushes of love or passion. I inhaled these essences of diffuse but so obsessing feelings. I heard thebreath of the silence. I penetrated into the wood and as these butterflies with the multiplearabesques; I passed from hedges to groves surrounded with an unreal sweetness. At the edge of apond lost, covered with a symphony of water lilies, some unknown creatures made circles in thewater. Small waves of love disturbed the surface, for whom knew how to seize them. A vision ofbeauty where nothing was still.At dawn rising, in the pale light of a vanilla sky, I even met the artist, calmed silhouette haloed withdepth of the crystal clear but glittering eyes.And then, when the sky passed in the deep red, the guardian of the garden called me too, to closethe book. …

Anthea Missy

Anthea Missy is a rising street artistoperating in Europe and Asia whomade a fast introduction in thestreet art world in April 2014. Shehas since painted in many key citiesin Europe and partly in Asia (Paris,London, Amsterdam, Helsinki,Brussels, Hanoi) with artworksranging from medium to large scale.She is French and operates underher real name, from Anglo-Normanorigin, and currently lives inBrussels.

From human scale walls to largescale boat in Hackney Wick, or a60m mural in Hanoi, her creativeprocess stands out with arecognizable style.While intricate compositions oforganic patterns and curve spreadout in space, movement andminimalism are maintained with alimited colour palette.

Anthea is a free-hand painter wholikes to improvise on the fly,unsupported by any sketch orstencil.Her art reflects movement, breath,spontaneous energy and connectspeople with their unconsciousemotions.

Heavy use of digital technology isanother dominant pillar of hermodus operandi, dedicated topioneering the art of liveperformance as she stretches theephemeral boundary of graffiti to atimeless multi sensory artexperience.Owing to contemporary nomadiclifestyle and expanding socialmedia, she regularly offers peopleto watch her street live paintings inreal time wherever they are andshe also produces her own streetart movies.

Disappearing in a Deep Red Sky'70cm x 50cm on paper, ink and spray paint.From my window, the garden looked different. Plants and flowers weremoving, like water and firefiles were dancing in the shadows. I knewthat the creature was invisibly connected to a visual symphony. TheGuardian of the garden sat for a while, withdrawn, as grasshoppersand crickets sang all night. In the morning he gathered the garden likea thief and his plunder, and disappeared with a deep red sky. (AM)

'Flowing Soul'70cm x 50cm

Acrylic drawing ondark grey iridescent

paper

Spontaneous and Lively , that sensation is going above the staticdimension of a frozen movement,

A move of the soul, diffuse, detached from materiality,Eternal.

Pure whiteness of the day , blinding,Is it so bright or the illusion of the truth in the dark?

An idea crossed my mind in this complete and absolute peacefulmeditation.

The presence of the other became apparent.From far but so close,

A thought that I undoubtedly felt as mutual.Like a communication door open in between space and time,

A flair and beyond everything : a certainty.Sixth sense.

Row and accurate in a second.Easily written in a couple of minutes.

There is nothing to be tested or proven.And there is nothing to hang on.

Just a feel.I embraced my soul, and I jumped out of my bed without

thinking about that any longer.I just kept the sweet aerial love thoughts as wings.

Life without substance is no life.

'Flowing Soul'7 am thoughts of love

''Dear Diary,

Without any statement,Agitated, restless,

All contradictions intertwined,By both ends.

I woke up and all was clear.

The day light was rising as the night was falling asleep,On thoughts, laid on white sheets.

The light burst into dreams of reality,Words, again, the same,

Forever,A quest for the absolute, for the truth.

Love is vibrating,The breast is moving,

The heart is beating strong , accelerating on those thoughts,The mind is coming, eyes see through darkness,

Visions of now, and tomorrow,Intensified senses,Thinking forward ,

and sensing the life of 'tomorrow', under the fingers, laid on thefabric, touching the leaves, colours, and the skin of the waking dream.

'In the Wood'70cm x 50cm

Acrylic drawing oniridescent paper.

'In the Wood'When something is going to happen I sense it.

A smell, a caress of the wind,Something buzzing in the air in silence or in the middle of the loud

croud.Nose up high, nose wide open, you know it's in the air,

Someone close is around.Still far from the body, so close to your mind.

A magnetic appeal. Invisible for the eyes, still, so obvious for the heartto feel.

And the desires dance in imagination,And the ink flows through the paper to make it breathe,

And the eye meets the eye,And the earth seems to tremble and shake your whole world.

The moment, the magic instant,Like a splinter going straight under your skin.A second, so close, endless understanding.

Endless love lost in the moment.For the sake of purity and honesty.

No words necessary.A immediate and extra speed blossom of the soul,

Turning pink and red and flashing in the dark.It's like the wind,

Passing by once and then leaving.That's a connexion.

It is perfect as such and consuming it can lead todisappointment.Love is free, live is eternal.Trying to capture the love is like chasing your own freedom,The love is like a flower.It needs to breather and needs delicacy.It needs to remain above the power of words.Because grace is something you sense.That alignment with someone, in silence.And they eyes speak.The same is true with people who don't like you, or withwhom you don't fit.But very often hatred is not really natural.It hides a future story or learning, a lesson to receive and usefor a better life, for a positive life.Sometimes in the morning I think about things I failed, and Irealize how much they taught me how to improve my futureprojects.Eternal only, the instant of completion.
