What are you currently working on ?
I am always working on a new collages artworks around a new theme ‘Caravaggio’. I am also putting together a bookzine with some photography work, I have been doing over the last couple of year.
What do you do for a living ?
I am a freelance graphic designer. In my free time, I am also a make-up artist.
What are your inspirations while doing collages ?
I live in Paris, but things I witness while traveling are my main inspiration. I collect photograph, then I use fashion magazines from around the world to remix them with a patchwork of these photographs around one single theme (such as ancient greek statues, native art, textiles, animals and organic shape). I like to deform images, transmute them, in order to change their meanings. I see it as a new metaphor and a quest to embrace feminity in a complicated visual landscape.
What are you future projects ?
I am getting interested by the connection between the North American living and their connection to their heritage and nature. I will be moving in Toronto, Canada, for to get further on the subject.
