    I started cyanotype about five years ago, and I’m I started cyanotype about five years ago, and I’m still not done exploring it. Plants, drawings, fabrics, glass… but also my own photography turned into negatives. Sunlight, transparency, patience and a little bit of imagination — the possibilities feel endless. 💙#creativefreedom #trusttheprocess #cyanotype #sunprint
    While on a 7 months trip across Asia I painted mos While on a 7 months trip across Asia I painted mostly murals but also handmade signs on a small island in southern Thailand. 18 of them to be precise. But my days at Nature Hill, Koh Mook, were not only made of paint and brushes. They were also filled with cats asking for attention, dogs wandering around, a crazy alfa monkey, big lizards, delicious food, ocean swims, palm trees, sunsets, and the slow rhythm of island life. A little glimpse of what working as a traveling artist can look like — not a holiday, not a normal job either, but something in between. Would you live this kind of rhythm for a while? #handpaintedsigns #travelingartist #islandlife #muralart #slowtravel
    I had to start over this mural three times before I had to start over this mural three times before she finally appeared. This piece was created in Thailand for a women-only hostel. I imagined her as a protective presence — a woman floating among the clouds, watching over the women sleeping there, carrying softness, dreams, and quiet strength through the night. But this mural didn’t come easily. The first version didn’t feel right. The second one still didn’t. At some point, I even wondered if the wall itself was resisting me. So I made a small offering of light, food and incense — just in case there were energies around that needed to be softened. Maybe it was spiritual. Maybe it was mental. Maybe it was simply part of the process. But after that, something shifted. I kept going, and slowly, she appeared. This ended up becoming one of my favorite murals I’ve ever painted. A reminder that sometimes, when something doesn’t flow at first, it doesn’t mean it’s not meant to exist. It may simply need more patience, more listening, and a little bit of faith. Have you ever felt completely stuck in front of a creative project — or even a life problem — but kept going until something finally shifted?
    Creating this 3-meter plaster tree relief taught m Creating this 3-meter plaster tree relief taught me far more than I expected — artistically, but also technically. This was my first large-scale plaster sculpture directly on a wall, and what first existed as an idea had to survive gravity, drying time, cracks, weight, and structure. The piece doesn’t rest on the floor. I wanted the roots to wrap around the rock almost like protective hands, both aesthetically and practically, since the sculpture is installed in an esoteric bookstore where visitors walk close to it. Plaster remains a fragile material. Very quickly, I realized plaster on plaster simply doesn’t adhere properly on its own, especially on drywall. I had to create an internal structure using hundreds of screws and layers of metal mesh. I tested different meshes because if the holes were too small, the plaster couldn’t pass through and hold correctly. As the sculpture dried, the plaster also shrank and cracked, creating cavities behind the relief. To prevent parts from detaching, I had to spray water onto semi-dry plaster and push the material outward again before adding new layers. The process became a constant dialogue with the material itself. My favorite part was sculpting the roots by hand. There was something very alive and meditative about shaping them. At the end, I added a golden moon behind the tree — something that could resemble both a moon at night and a sun during the day. Since the sculpture is white on a white wall, the gold helps reveal its silhouette while the relief naturally creates shadows and light throughout the day. This piece took several weeks to complete… and then came another challenge: turning 8 hours of footage into a 1 minute 30 video. For this first edit, I chose to focus on the softer side of the process — including my tiny assistant Noisette 🐶✨
