Lives in Paris. Daphne Bitchatch describes a path of human resistance, an individual effort of gaining influence by means of artistic expression. Her work is same as tasks of personal life:the process of exposing her herself directly to her surroundings, grasping essential elements of her environment, whether it will be the urban environment of Paris, the bustling street-life of Cotonou / Benin or close to the river of Segau Coura, in Mari, and also streets and underground from Moscow,or some others country-side. She emerges herself into her surroundings and transforms and  her impressions into various art forms. Through her paintings, installations, land-art-projects, she leaves distinct traces, raises uncomfortable questions, and quite often she confronts the observer with the brutality of repressive forces, social imbalance and the stifling atmosphere of predefined human destiny.
