Profile:
Celine Chat
Born in the South of France, Céline decided at the age of 20 to travel for an 8 month trip of discovery to the Philippines and Indonesia. She soon found her calling – to travel the world and capture the soul of the places and people she encountered in her art.
“I embrace the world, I take what it offers me and from this I find my inspiration.
My travels and the realization of my art back home in France is a constant
voyage of discovery."
Every year, Celine departs on a new voyage for 3 to 6 months. The only constant
is to surf and discover. Each voyage is a like a chapter in life. Her objective is to embrace the entire experience and express that in her art.
"There are moments of incredible joy and beauty but also of dispair of what I
have seen in the world." One sees this intensity of life in each one of Celine's
pieces.
Her work vividly depicts her travels and her experience and influence her art.
'The place' takes free rein to her imagination: “In this creative process, I let my
subconscious guide my hand and my art. I found the faces of people which I crossed in the road, the country’s culture, my
passion for the ocean and surfing, style living in harmony with nature."
Celine has exhibited regularly since 2002 and is in great demand in many
galleries through out the world. On the other side of the Atlantic, her painting and
her lifestyle are greatly appreciated by the surf community in Latin America and
the United States.
She has been featured on the cover of ALMASURF, a leading Brazilian surf
magazin in 2012 and in 2008 was a featured artist at the International Surfing
Museum in Huntington Beach, California becoming the first European to exhibit
in the Mecca of “surf culture.”

*Image disclaimer (so we can all save a little heartbreak)
The image colors you see on your monitor may differ from the actual sandals. We'll be as accurate as we can be, but monitors vary in age, calibration and colors represented. Some colors, we just can't produce yet, like fluorescents.
The image positioning may vary slightly from monitor to sandal. We need a little bit of the image to be in the "no print zone" so we don't have any gaps on the edges. Try to keep the important parts of your image away from the sandal edges.
