introducing
The name La Samanna began as a symbolic strand of syllables representing three young girls' names whose parents' dream was fulfilled by the welcome of their first guests to this exclusive French West Indian resort.
Today, the word "La Samanna" carries its own meaning and purpose; an adjective that describes a standard of quality and performance; a synonym for excellence and enchantment, an oasis, Nirvana.
Feature
Roland Richardson's collection on permanent exhibit, "Les Belles Couleurs de La Samanna" is a collection entirely created "en plein air", inspired by the panoramic beauty of Baie Longue, its eternal cobalt and turquoise sea, its ever-changing luminescent sky, the hidden secrets of the gardens revealed only in their season of bloom. All artworks in this exhibit are studies of light on living subjects. Each has a unique date, time and place in the history of our lives.
