The main questionning of Gwladys Gambie is the condition and decolonial representation of  black woman through drawing and sculpture practice. She is inspired by the caribbean  landscape which belong to her imaginary and add oniric dimension in her graphic writting.  Creole, strong picture language, becomes a main element to create a specific iconography to  her work about black female body. She is talking about sexuality, race and gender in a  westindian society where stereotypes and consequences of colonialism are still presents.
