Charity Art Collage: Rainbow of Peace

Concept

From a purely sculptural point of view, collages have always been fascinating to me because they can create relief and depth thanks to simple small pieces of paper. They create a 3D effect that is both moving and alive. All this while paradoxically still, orderly.

I studied mathematics along with art, which shows in the graphic aspect of my collages. Squares, triangles, parallelograms… All the magazine pieces that make up my collages are geometric.

The collage technique I’ve invented is both simple and remarkable because it allows me to build a new reality from several pieces of realities. I offer a new life to paper, a second chance to rewrite its story.

I have always been a creative person, with a passion for reading, writing, and bubbling over with imagination. So far I have written two novels, including one published in France. My collages are the fruit of my effervescent mind and the continuation of that passion for writing.

Each collage tells hundreds of stories. The one that jumps out first: the landscape taking shape. Shortly after, dozens of small details follow, each telling its own story, at the center of the whole picture: a young woman practicing yoga in the middle of a mysterious jungle (Alice in Wonderland), a mountaineer hanging from an ice pillar (My lovely Alps), lemon macarons hidden in the dunes (The Desert Never Sleeps)....

These details are mixed with other, more secret stories: those of the magazines from which the collage was created. The places they have passed through since they were published, when they arrived in my studio, the hands they passed between, the power of the stories they contain....

And then the story of the artist, my story. Like that trip to Asia back in 2017, from which I brought back all the magazines necessary to make Lost in Paradise, an exotic landscape inspired by Bali. Without forgetting the stories that I do not know, but that also permeate the work: your thoughts when diving into my collage, the memories that it awakens in you.

Through my work, my mission is to open your eyes, arouse your curiosity and stimulate your imagination. Imagine, dream and build a world where everything becomes both magical and real.
