This summer I went island-hopping in Greece, and come out with the eyes full of sea and art, and a few reflections I wrote about for a few different magazines. This is what I wrote for Le Quotidien de l’Art (in French).

I have toured for Observer the private collections in Athens and their island outposts, which are reshaping where, and how, contemporary art gets shown in Greece.

My latest piece for Artsy took a lit of gallavanting. But if you are a journalist, you gotta wear out those soles!
From Marseille, France, to the Greek islands, some of the most compelling shows of the year are taking place in Mediterranean destinations. Taken together, this group of shows suggests that art, like most things along the Med, is something to be experienced with your senses and can fit seamlessly into a perfect day.

“There is a Kazakh proverb that says: a foolish person arrives with noise, sweeping everything away in their path, while a wise person arrives quietly, carefully observing the world around them.”
Syrlybek Bekbota, the curator of the Kazakhstan Pavilion at the 61st Venice Biennale – the most important art event in the world – offers me this thought at the dawn of the exhibition’s opening, and it feels like both a manifesto and an omen.
I wrote the piece for Times of Central Asia.

There is an organic quality to the art scene in Tunis, where art grows out of the bustling, lively, chaotic energy that agitates the city’s streets and animates individuals trying to channel it into an art system.
That’s not an easy feat for a scene that can’t rely on any kind of government master plan, but solely on a handful of people who have set out on a mission to build something durable.

L’hebdo du Quotidien de l’Art has just published my article on Burmese artists exiled in France. After the coup d’état in Myanmar, most of the Burmese art scene relocated and reformed elsewhere, with some artists moving to France.
Between Marseille and Paris, these trajectories do not form a homogeneous network, but rather a constellation of practices and narratives, linked by the experience of exile.

In Sweden, the country’s artists, dealers, collectors and institutions have built a functioning ecosystem that has, by most measures, avoided the worst of the recent market turbulence.
I have written about it for Observer, reviewing Stockholm’s Market Art Fair, and exploring the Stockholm Art Week for Observer.
Morocco’s art scene is diverse and growing, spanning independent spaces, commercial galleries and international fairs. While Marrakech positions itself as a global hub, Casablanca’s scene is closely tied to its history and political reality.
My report from Marrakech and Casa has just been published by the German magazine Qantara.

Latest article (in French) for Le Quotidien de l’Art about independent spaces in Rome. Sometimes I got to write about my turf as well! online and in the paper edition.
“Lorsqu’on évoque l’art contemporain en Italie, Milan et Turin s’imposent comme des évidences. Rome, elle, est souvent reléguée au second plan et perçue comme périphérique. Pourtant, loin des projecteurs institutionnels et de la hype, la capitale italienne cultive une vitalité singulière, une énergie nourrie par des liens humains forts, des solidarités de terrain et un rapport avec le territoire.”

Loft Gallery director has spent nearly two decades building one of the country’s most important contemporary art spaces, while quietly assembling a collection guided entirely by instinct and love.
I have interviewed her for Observer.

421 contradicts several preconceived ideas the West might hold about the UAE art scene, often associated with large institutions projecting national ambition outward, from the Louvre Abu Dhabi and the forthcoming Guggenheim to the Sharjah Biennial. Taking another approach, 421 operates on a smaller scale, with slower timing and direct relationships with artists.
I visited 421 Art Campus and reported for ArtAsiaPacific.
The 2026 edition of the 1-54 Contemporary African Art Fair Marrakech is smaller than in previous years. The number of galleries has been reduced, the fair occupies a tighter footprint and the broader media conversation has largely shifted further east.
The city itself, however, tells a different story. This year, the boutique fair operated in dialogue with exhibitions spread across the city, keeping visitors constantly engaged—if not by the energy of Marrakech itself, then by a program that extends far beyond the walls of La Mamounia, the state-of-the-art hotel where the fair takes place.
I reported from the fair for Observer.
