Myriam STROKEN, a French painter from northern France, has Dutch origins. She began painting very early and as from childhood, the great masters of Flemish painting influenced her. Then, during her many stays in countries of heat, sun and intense light, her sources of inspiration changed a lot, and her painting technique never stopped evolving. In each of its paintings, Myriam STROKEN has the knack of adapting special atmospheres to the subject of the painting: colours explode in her landscapes and nuances caress her discreet but nevertheless alluring nudes. Today she lives and works in Tahiti.
Stanley HAUMANI, a self-taught Polynesian painter, was born in 1964 in Moorea, Tahiti’s sister island. He soon got interested in painting and gave his first painting as a present to his school headmaster at the age of nine. In 1984, during a trip to his aunt’s in Canada, he realises that he can make a living out of his art. So he decides to return to Moorea in order to set up his first exhibition in 1988. He has painted more than 1000 paintings since then; some of them are now in the four corners of the world. Through this new painting, Stanley HAUMANI, shows us how beautiful, sweet and sensitive vahines are. Today he lives in Cook’s Bay in Moorea, with his wife and two children. He has settled his gallery there to exhibit his paintings.
Through these two artists the Post and Telecommunications Office pays homage to our VAHINES
