Journal update

31 January 2010

It’s been quite a while since I haven’t scanned drawings from my journal…

I made most of the following before getting into the “Holy Beauty” series. I did some interesting discoveries while working on them. For instance, I think I might get into collage very soon…

Note: I’ve been asked if I sell or exhibit my Journal drawings. The answer is yes, you can buy drawings from my journals :)

Back from Colombia

17 January 2010

Note: The photos bellow where taken by me but are not representative of my artistic work. To view my official Photography please click here.

I’ve hesitated a lot before deciding to publish this post. I was thinking the content probably fits my Facebook page better, but then the image quality on there is pure rubbish so I thought: why not?

I spent from December 1st /09  to January 3rd /10 in Colombia, half promoting my work and exhibiting, half visiting my family&friends and just having fun. I took several pictures, although not as many as I had planned before the trip. I first wanted to take zillions of pictures, particularly of the beautiful urban landscapes that many people abroad don’t know about (because sadly, a lot of people think Colombia is just an extremely dangerous jungle filled with drug dealers and guerrillas…which is rather far from the truth), and share them here. However, to be honest in Colombia I hardly felt like taking my camera out. I just wanted to be there and enjoy the experience for real -and not behind the camera-. Now I’m hating, for instance, not to have taken enough pictures of Bogotá, my city, the capital.

I did take some pictures, of those things that caught my eye strongly enough as to make me take over my laziness and get the camera working. Most of these pictures where taken in Los Llanos and Subachoque, two very different places with different landscapes and weather, but in the same country. I really enjoyed my time there. Now I’m back on track, in France, with some interesting projects ahead and a lot of pictures to edit from last year. In the mean time, let me just share a bit of where I come from with you…

Exhibitions in Bogotá, Colombia

28 November 2009

I’m very glad to announce that this December, not only I’ll be visiting my country -after living abroad for more than a year and a half, but I’m having two exhibitions in my hometown!! I’ll be having a big solo exhibition (21 artworks, paintings and drawings) at the art gallery of Skandia, and the show will last for two months, launching the 10th December. Also, I’ll be showing 3 drawings and 3 photographs at Club el Nogal, during their traditional group exhibition for December: “Pequeño Formato”. Huge thanks to Clara Isabel Mendoza, who has been taking care of pretty much everything in Bogotá, and also to the people from Skandia and El Nogal who kindly invited me to exhibit at their art rooms.

I’m very excited about this! Besides, I really can’t wait to see my friends & family, and I’m already drooling with all the delicious things I’m going to eat -no offense my French pals, I’ve had a great time in your country, but French food is definitely overrated! ;)

On another note, I was invited as a guest speaker for the conference “The Status of Women Artists and The Representation of Women in Art in the 21st Century” at University Jean Moulin Lyon III. Last Monday I gave a 2 hour presentation about my work, at Auditorium Andre Malraux. Big thanks to Emeline Chaurand for inviting me to come! Preparing this presentation was a great exercise to straighten out my thoughts on art, feminism, my origins, the Internet, my work, among other things I talked about. I’ll share a report of the event -which was video taped-, later on…in the mean time, you can see some pictures here.

Oh, and, did you watch my filmed interview already? if you haven’t, click here!

Before leaving…

25 November 2009

DSC07613

About a month ago I did a fashion photoshoot in a professional studio. It was really an amazing experience…huge thanks to photographer Raphaël Auvray for the opportunity! Also to Les troubadours du Chaos, for the beautiful clothes; to Chloé Collewet and Camille Bodin for being such great models, and to Nicolás Díaz Durana and Aude Mazza for the great help!!

I was hoping to finish these pictures before traveling to Colombia but it was really impossible. I was cought up preparing my presentation for University Jean Moulin Lyon III and I even haven’t had the time to finish my Watermelon series, which I had already announced and hope to finish soon! At the moment I’m packing my bags, and I want to share the images I’ve already finished, before I disappear for several days. Click on the first image to view the slideshow.





Models: Chloé Collewet and Camille Bodin. Clothes: Les troubadours du chaos (link). Studio, lighting and general assistance: Raphaël Auvray. Concept, Makeup, Styling, Photography and Post-Processing: me. Thank you all!!

I plan to write a full report of this photoshoot whenever I get the time. In the meantime, if you’re curious, you can see a complete ‘behind the scenes’ coverage on my Facebook: CLICK. Thanks to Aude and Nicolás for those pics :)
