Calaina

Calaina is part of my Bonatik Collection.

Combining botanical beauty with poetic inspiration, each piece in this series is unique and serves as a visual ode to nature’s most delicate creations.
It transforms ordinary blooms into otherworldly muses that inspire wonder and introspection, paying homage to the natural world in a way that feels both familiar and mystical. Symbolising the beauty of life, the power of imagination, and the profound connection between art and nature.

Handcrafted using cardboard, paper, papier-mâché, fibre, and other natural or upcycled materials, this wall hanging sculpture blends traditional techniques with my own creative process.

The intricate designs, natural materials and symbolic elements create layers of texture and perspective, inviting viewers to explore the depths of each piece and step into a mystical garden where each bloom tells a story.

Magali Feuga is a French Australian visual artist based on the Sunshine Coast, Australia. Working across sculpture and painting, her practice explores identity, memory, and the enduring relationship between the human form and the natural world.

Her artistic sensibility was shaped by an unconventional upbringing spent largely travelling on her parent’s sailboat. This early exposure to diverse cultures and environments has fostered a lasting curiosity for human expression and connection. She later studied art in Nice, France, before pursuing a creative life informed by extensive travel and her work as a chef. These experiences have continued to shape the tactile and layered quality of her practice.

Since settling in Australia in 2018, Magali has returned to her studio practice with a focus on sculpture as her primary mode of expression. Her works, often constructed from reclaimed and recycled materials, carry a quiet, contemplative presence, evoking both ancient artefacts and contemporary reflections on belonging.

Magali currently works from her Sunshine Coast studio, where her process is guided by slowness, material sensitivity, and a thoughtful approach to form.
