Magali Feuga

Born in New Caledonia, Magali Feuga is a French artist based on Australia’s Sunshine Coast. Her figurative practice explores and activates emotional depth in both subject and observer. Growing up aboard her parent’s sailboat, Feuga’s curiosity in art developed as her artist-father encouraged her creative pursuits. She studied at the EMAP Villa Thiole in Nice in the late 90s, and her practice evolved through self–instruction, influenced by further travel over two decades as a nomadic private chef.

After settling in Australia, Feuga began to focus primarily on art, with people emerging as a frequent symbol in her body of work. She continues to dwell on the human form through values of self-expression and connection. Portraits and figures, created mostly with acrylic and mixed media, convey vivid emotions through light and expressions. These representational and spiritual introspections have featured in Feuga’s past exhibitions and art prizes over recent years.

With ongoing projects and upcoming shows, Feuga is dedicated to developing her practice and exploring the metaphysical and existential questions of life and meaning.
