About

The FIAP Paris invites you to discover the exhibition "Envisage…" by Kati Béal, from October 1 to November 29, 2026.

Through a series of portraits created on cardboard and recycled paper, the artist questions our relationship with the world, humanity, and nature. From the boxer "on guard" to the child from the Mongolian steppes, her works bear witness to the violence and upheavals of our time, while conveying a message of resistance, solidarity, and hope.

Coming from a dual culture and inspired by her Eurasian origins, Kati Béal blends the depth of Chinese ink with a delicate palette, creating a dialogue between strength and gentleness. Her choice of recycled cardboard also reflects her ecological commitment and gives her works a unique relationship with the material.

With "Envisage…", the artist encourages us to look at the present, think about the future, and act to preserve our humanity.

Opening night on October 1 at 6:30 PM
