Amartya


Amartya (Joëlle Zioga) is a self‑taught artist whose work inhabits the threshold between the tangible and the transcendent. A vivid dream of her late father inspired her to embrace the name Amartya—Hindi for “One Who Never Dies”—marking the start of a deeply personal artistic quest. Trained in Social and Political Sciences at the University of Lausanne, she blends philosophical inquiry with vivid dream‑inspired visions.

My work explores time as a lived and emotional experience rather than a linear progression. I am interested in how time expands and compresses through memory and dreaming, creating spaces where past, present and future quietly overlap.

Time in this context becomes a material itself - one that holds uncertainty while still allowing transformation. In this sense, my approach reflects an ongoing inquiry into how painting can hold time, dreams, and hope simultaneously, creating spaces where quiet endurance and imagination coexist.
