Magali Feuga

Contemporary Figurative Artist Magali Feuga is a French artist based on Australia’s Sunshine Coast since 2018. Her work focusses on a portrayal of the human form that values internal worlds and unique ways of being. She has a figurative practice that activates an emotional depth in both subject and observer.

Growing up aboard her parent’s sailboat, Magali’s curiosity in art developed as her artist father encouraged her creative pursuits. She studied art 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, Magali began to focus primarily on art, with people emerging as a recuring 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 bold and expressive visuals.

These representational and spiritual introspections have featured in Magali’s pasts exhibitions and art prizes over recent years. With ongoing projects and upcoming exhibitions, Magali is dedicated to developing her practice and hopes to further question what it means to be human through her work.
