Guerresi’s subjects appear mystical, infused with references to Sufi Islam, a religion she converted to from Catholicism when she married a Senegalese man. On her work, Guerresi says, “My moods are expressed in my work as faces, color, and emotions, where the body is no longer a prison of the soul, but rather like a temple to house and augment the Divine.” Guerresi currently lives in Dakar, Senegal.
