How did you get into art?

I’m watching and experimenting the world with a very personal regards who made me to start this autobiographical artistic project. I’m a 40 years old woman trying to broke the chains of the patriarchy in a feminist project of art. This project make my life, sensitive, powerfull, playfull and so creative. I’m working with a lot of different medium, mixing old technics and new technology in paper and fabrics art pieces production.

  

 

How would you describe your style? What makes your work special?

Beautiful, sweet, elegant, simple but subversive pieces like my Living room porn: my secret sexual desires, encoding by the superposition of multiple layers of typography, you can hang in your living-room. Nobody is gonna understand what is on your wall, but you will, because I’m giving the translation the collector who buy this piece. It is a secret between you and me. There is always two level of reading in my art pieces. I want to put beauty, desires and freedom in your livingroom.

How do you go about developing your work?

It generally came about a pulsion, something I need to do, I need to say, a medium I need to experiment. That is why I’m using a lot of different medium. My art is about life and life is movement. After that I follow a very unique and strict process of creation, with precises technics.  Back and forth between drive and rigor. Perhaps because my background is a mix between art and design.

Who or what influences you?

The rigor of the draw of European designers and the creativity of the middle age master of painting like Jérôme Bosch.

Make us curious. What is planned next?

I have two solo shows upcoming in Canada. I’m also working on a serie of fabrics sculptures and a serie of colorfull Living-room porn embossing.
