Coeur d’artichaut
Coeur d'artichaut
This series is very special to me. Stepping outside my comfort zone, I immerse myself in a more realistic style. Each piece becomes a meditation in which time stands still, for weeks, sometimes months. That is what makes them true digital paintings.
As in all my work, symbolism remains at the heart of my creative process. The animals that come to life in my work are never the result of chance. They emerge naturally, often carrying a symbolism that resonates with the rhythms of my own life.
With *Cœur d’Artichaut*, I wanted to transform this tender expression—which describes hearts that open too quickly, too soon or too intensely—into a source of strength. Here, the heart is no longer merely fragile, but a secret garden where every animal, like a guardian, watches over the treasures of our inner selves. An ode to grace, where vulnerability is transformed into power.
The Healer
Featured in many cultures, the snake embodies a variety of meanings, ranging from the wisdom, from protection to transformation. Its moult symbolises the renaissance and the ability to reinvent itself. The Greeks attributed powers of guérison et de spiritual guide.
I imagined this snake entwined around a heart in bloom, thus uniting its primal power with the delicacy of the petals. A union of strength and vulnerability, where nature reveals itself to be both formidable and gentle. The purity of white and pink brings harmony, love and compassion. It embodies emotional healing, inviting us to face trials with kindness, to accept change without resistance and to embrace a rebirth with confidence.
Like a benevolent guardian, this white and pink snake whispers a promise: where resilience dances with tenderness, every challenge becomes an invitation to grow. So let us weather the storms with optimism: ‘All will be well, in the face of adversity’.
« Everything I lose creates space for everything I need. »
Lucky
Since ancient times, the lizard has fascinated people and inspired myths and legends. It embodies the transformation,adaptability and the wisdom through the centuries.
Master of the metamorphosis,this little reptile knows how to shed its skin and regenerate itself. It reminds us that any loss can lead to a rebirth. Capable of shedding its skin to escape danger, it teaches us the art of letting go of the past so that we can rebuild ourselves.
This little creature, so dear to my heart, holds a piece of my childhood within it.
Having travelled to Indonesia since I was a child, I learnt there that seeing a gecko in your home brings good luck !
‘Lucky’ was born from these vivid memories. My little lucky charms, whose every appearance reminds me that magic is ever-present. These little angels dancing within these walls make my heart skip a beat!
Mystic
Cette petite grenouille bleue à fait fondre mon cœur, il fallait à tout prix que je lui face honneur.
Dû à leur incroyable parcours, de l’œuf à l’âge adulte, la grenouille incarne la capacité de transformation profonde dans nos vies. Elle devient un symbole puissant pour celles et ceux en quête d’épanouissement ou d’un nouveau départ. Elle incarne le renouveau et la transformation. Elle nous montre que toute guérison est possible à la fin de périodes douloureuses. Sa couleur bleue, associée à l’extraordinaire, évoque une force discrète mais puissante. Elle rappelle qu’il ne faut pas ce fier aux apparences fragiles, qui cachent parfois une grande résilience.
Tel un petit ange gardien, elle vieille sur ce cœur et l’enveloppe de sa protection. Il était tout naturel pour moi de l’entouré de violet, cette teinte rare, associée à la noblesse, la magie et au mystère.
Toxique ou pas toxique, telle est la question !
