French Bohemians Georges & Cerika
A Real Life Experience
We are Georges & Cérika, 2 long time soul companions.
Years ago, we packed everything we had on board of our vintage 1979 Silver Bus, hooked our small van at the back and took off on a pilgrimage from the tip of the Gaspe peninsula through all of America, the USA, Arizona, California and Oregon. Our journey currently brings us to Saltspring Island, one of the Golf Island west of Vancouver, British Columbia.
About our French Bohemian Duo
Since the late seventies, we have been performing together as composers, musicians, singers & songwriters.
Our repertoire is composed of French, European classics, original songs, improvisations & chansons from all ages.
We sing in several languages (mainly in French but also in English, Romanian, Armenian, Russian & Portuguese). We perform in the European Bohemian/Tzigane tradition.

About Cerika & her Work
Cérika is a Canadian professional artist born in Belgium, Europe. She practices her Art of Beauty through a unique alchemy of disciplines ranging from lapidary arts, metal work, leatherwork, painting to sculpting.
“Art Companions”
Her approach to Art is one of integrality where meaning, uniqueness, beauty and the human experience all play major roles. She feels that life is a perfect continuum of elements in constant interaction and evolution. Each and every action, thought and emotion of our lives do influence both our whole existence and consciousness as well as those of others.
For her, Art is more than just something you do or the medium you use, it is a celebration of our fundamental uniqueness, an ode to life and beauty and a privileged communication link with the Universe.
Each of Cerika’s jewelry pieces also carry a hidden element: a profound & mysterious symbolic meaning that can only be described as a blend of the destiny of both the object and its human destination.
As an added blessing, each person who ends up with one of her pieces is also offered a reading describing its very symbolism. This complements harmoniously the affinity spiral that was initiated when the piece was created with its “second life” as a “new Companion”.
