Magali Feuga is a French Australian visual artist based on the Sunshine Coast, Australia. Working across sculpture and painting, her practice focuses on the human form, exploring themes of identity, memory, and our relationship with the natural world. Her artistic sensibility was shaped by an unconventional childhood spent largely travelling around the world 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 at the EMAP (Ecole Municipale d’Art Plastique) in Nice (France) in the late 1990s and continued to develop her practice through self-guided learning over the years. Since settling in Australia in 2018, Magali has returned to her studio with a focus on sculpture as her primary mode of expression. Using cardboard, paper, papier-mâché, natural fibres, discarded textiles, and reclaimed wooden elements, her practice embraces imperfection and transformation as integral parts of the creative process. Through these recycled, often overlooked materials, she explores cycles of fragility, resilience, repair, and renewal, allowing each surface to retain traces of its history and physical presence. She has been a finalist in the Du Rietz Art Awards and Sculpture on The Edge and has exhibited at The Other Art Fair in Sydney, The Affordable Art Fair in Melbourne, and several group exhibitions across Australia.
