About her:

I like to define myself as a touch to everything, passionate about materials and shapes. I let myself be guided by experimentation. Most of my influences are between architecture, design and contemporary art. I am a graduate of architecture and scenography since the essential issues of layout guide my personal work. I was born in Paris. I lived 20 years in the haussmanian apartment-studio of my parents in the center of Paris. My mother who studied art history has always cultivated me a lot, loving letters, she taught me to stay curious about "knowing". I grew up in the studio of my artist father, KRIKI, between paintings and punk music. At his side, I drew, created objects, watched. He always had a benevolent eye on my creations. This is my first influence, great lover of the straight line, I want it from him! Since very young, my parents took me running galleries, museums, performances. The conversations around the table were always very open and free. Our education with my brother was based on communication between everyone. This big brother passionate music influenced me a lot on this side. We grew up in the same room and each evening on the thin wall that separated our room from my father's workshop, we could hear the brushstrokes that rocked us. I often represent interiors, moments of life. I like to think that by illustrating spaces I build them too. Most architectures and interiors I draw, I really think of them as architectural projects, to the objects I design. Leaving the optics to one day give life to these interiors, these objects! Compared to my work on textures, materials objects, I like to believe that I try to poise objects, as to exacerbate the sensations they provide us. To represent the material is to give an idea of ​​a reality to the one who looks at it. I like to think that by the look also our feelings of touch are manifested. From architecture, the body has allowed me to focus more and more on the small scale, interior architecture, the object. Our direct relationship with what surrounds us.
