Anna Painting

Myriam Achour Soumati is a French-Algerian self-taught artist based in London. As a dreamer and highly sensitive child, drawing and painting was always her happy place. Growing up in Paris, Myriam spent her summers drawing and painting in the French countryside in Charentes. After building a successful career in marketing, the desire to chase her childhood dream of becoming an artist was too strong to ignore. In 2017 Soumati Studio was born - Soumati being the name of the Algerian tribe she's descended from. Simple lines, vibrant and grounding colours, a strong sense of freedom and power are the key pillars of her work. From the female form and empowerment, love, self-love, connection to nature to the small things of her everyday life, inspiration is everywhere. By creating, Myriam tries to deeply connect to her body and heart, with love and compassion - art is therapy. She hopes to take you with her on a journey of beauty, aliveness and meaningfulness to help you connect to your heart, to feel empowered, unapologetic, present and free.
