Mauritius Sketchbook by Sophie Ladame
Ever since the 18th century, Mauritius has been enriched by inflows of people from Europe, Africa, India and China. The result, on the island today, is a harmonious mix of cultural and religious traditions (Christianity, Hinduism, Islam and Buddhism).
Sophie Ladame, Inspired by family trips and voyages under sail in the Pacific and the Antilles, sketches the islands, and recycles pigments and papers to give a 'local' feeling to her watercolors. Everyday life, places, and people encountered are her favorite topics, and feature in her first travel diary L ile de la Reunion published by Gallimard in October 2001. The Saint-Denis Natural History Museum of la Reunion mounted an exhibition of her watercolors in November 2001. Sophie Ladame was born in Paris in 1974. She studied the art of illustration at Axe Sud, Marseilles. She is now based in Paris and works for a number of international press and advertising agencies. Yvan Martial, was born in Vacoas, Mauritius, in 1942, has an inextinguishable love for his native island, small but richly diverse, a melting point of three continents (Asia, Africa and Europe) and three major cultures (Hinduism, Christianity and Islam). He combines a passion for local history with work as a journalist. Formerly editor-in-chief of L'Express, Martial contributes to various Mauritian and Parisian weeklies. He also manages La Gazette des Iles de la Mer des Indes, a magazine dedicated to the history of Mauritius.
