Hello !

I am Mathilde Bismuth, a contemporary artist, navigating through various forms of art with a self-taught artistic journey. My preferred medium is acrylic and inks, allowing me to capture the fluidity of the moment and express the full potential that a canvas can embody.

Explore the vision, inspiration, and journey of the artist behind the captivating brushstrokes.

I come from the southwest of France, amidst the sea, land, and vineyards, my initial steps into the realm of art were characterized by personal exploration. Departing from conventional paths, I began nurturing my passion for antique aesthetics and medieval art during my History studies in Bordeaux. Simultaneously, my curiosity led me to delve into the realm of wine, from viticulture to sommelier expertise, broadening my horizons to the culinary arts. For me, wine represents the pure expression of an art form that awakens other senses.

 

In 2013, at the age of 23, I decided to embark on a journey to explore the world beyond my borders. Settling in the Dominican Republic, I experienced enriching moments in Santo Domingo and the Ocoa Bay, where a local wine project blossomed. Immersed in this new environment, my conviction that wine is an art form capable of elevating terroir was strengthened, inspiring my own artistic approach.

 

Back in France, initially through Saint Tropez and then in Paris, and after a few years in the wine industry, I shifted towards marketing and communication, serving French businesses.

 

In 2022, marked by a diagnosis of autoimmune disease and experiencing burnout, I found solace in painting. This challenging period added a new dimension to my artistic practice, prompting me to express unspeakable emotions on canvas.

 

In 2024, after a trip to Japan, Casa Mizu came to life. This name, blending Japanese and Dominican influences, symbolizes the essence of my art. Casa Mizu is not just a creative space but also a reflection of my generosity and spiritual inspiration. My artistic approach, infused with Jewish mysticism, transcends boundaries to unveil new perspectives.

 

Drawing from my experiences and sources of inspiration, my art seeks to nurture deep and meaningful expression, opening doors to a realm where artistic fluidity meets clarity of mind.

About Casa Mizu

My artistic journey is infused with the concept of "Mizu" (水) - /miːzuː/, meaning "water" in Japanese.

This word evokes purity, fluidity, and a serene strength, representing a vital element of life.

In art and creativity, "Mizu" embodies the fluidity of artistic expression, the clarity of mind, and the strength emanating from creation.

By combining this concept with the term "Casa," symbolizing home and the place of creation, my studio becomes a space where ideas take shape, where art transcends boundaries, and where new artistic perspectives unfold.

Therefore, every piece I create is a living expression of my emotions and spirituality, unfolding freely through my chosen mediums.
