Both artists were born in Nouméa, one in 1956 and one in 1957. They come from families who have been in New Caledonia for about 6 generations. Anne-Marie d’Anglebermes and Patrick Duffieux are multi-talented artists, well known by the Caledonian public and by all those who have had the opportunity to visit New Caledonia.

They are both very sensitive to the cultures and traditions of the different ethnicities that surround them. They have their own style and are always looking for new inspiration. It is often during their outings in the New Caledonian countryside that they find ideas for new paintings.

The quality and particularity of their artwork has been the object of many articles in local and foreign newspapers.

At the beginning, when they didn’t know each other, they each exhibited their art on their own. They did this for twenty years in different salons and galleries throughout New Caledonia and the South Pacific. See the list of some of their exhibitions

It was only in 1997 that Anne-Marie and Patrick met and decided to exhibit and sell their art together in the gallery they opened to the public and that was named "Naturami".

Since they had so much success with local and foreign buyers, the artists decided to open an online boutique that you can visit at : www.naturami.nc.

This website allows you, from the comfort of your own home, to choose and acquire, "giclee" art prints, rno matter how far away you live!.
