Esther Calixte-Bea's practice develops through different art forms such as painting, drawing, photography, textiles, installation and writing. Through her work, she challenges Eurocentric beauty standards by addressing the taboo of female body hair. In her visual compositions, black female figures wear their body hair proudly rather than with shame. The hair becoming glorified on their bodies pays homage to her Ivorian tribe named Wè. The artist addresses themes of identity by inventing a fictitious ethnic group called Fyète-Souhou taking the word pride in Haitian Creole and the word divine in Guéré (Ivorian dialect). Calixte-Bea also addresses the theme of individuality by giving each figure a unique appearance through their elaborate hairstyle inspired by various pre-colonial African hairstyles, as well as the issue of vulnerability by creating a space for healing in her work. Calixte-Bea builds an inventive and color-filled world, often inspired by nature, her personal life and her cultural heritage. She paints female characters with acrylic paint and oil pastels, creating a world with a royal and futuristic appearance. She places great emphasis on hairstyles. Navigating through various mediums, she can also bring her figures to life by creating clothing, wigs and accessories that are displayed on mannequins in the exhibition space. In her self-photography work, the artist wears her own creations while highlighting her body hair. Finally, it is through writing and poetry that she tells the story of this ethnic group, illustrating their way of life.
