Marion Livran is a Parisian artist. Initially trained in engraving, she fell in love with linocut, which she has been practicing for the past 5 years. She is very sensitive to the body, to what it gives us to see, touch and feel, to its movements, density and composition… She seeks to capture the fragility of this envelope and the trace that our emotions and our lives leave on it, both on the surface and in its depths.

It is these moments of epiphanies that fascinate her, these waves that pass through us and make us live: “I like to be interested in the invisible, in what sets in motion or what freezes, the body has answers even before we become aware of them (if we know how to listen to it). It’s these moments of epiphanies that fascinate me, these waves that pass through us and make us live.”

Her graphic universe is influenced by the colors, landscapes and sunshine of the Mediterranean. Characterized by a colorful palette and clean lines, her illustrations are inspired by scenes from everyday life, featuring maritime pines, references to antiquity, cafés, vintage signs, wine glasses and stolen kisses.

Louise, aka Lavilleeetlesnuages, describes herself as an “optimistic illustrator”.

Laure Lepage is a photographer/plastician who graduated from the University of Paris 8. Since then, she has developed her skills, specializing in interior design and object photography.

Fascinated by the sensations generated by images, she composes all her photographs with the intention of relaxing, sometimes touching on the strange. When she discovered the cyanotype technique two years ago, she fully integrated it into her photographic practice. The process allows her to revive her artistic techniques, and dialogues perfectly with her compositions.

Laure Lepage photographs by focusing on the smallest details of objects or motifs encountered during walks in nature and apartments: the veins of a petal, the opening of a shell, the calm of the horizon… Her images are imbued with the joy of recomposing spaces and small scenes, inviting the viewer to rest.

Like many children who grew up in the countryside, Niels Stoltenborg was fascinated by plants, an inexhaustible source of fascination and surprise. He remembers telling his grandmother that he wanted to be a gardener.

He didn’t become a gardener. He studied photography, graphic design and drawing. As a freelancer, he worked as a photography and production assistant. In the 90s, he set up a studio in Istanbul for advertising and magazines. Today, he devotes himself entirely to his artistic and photographic creation.

In Végétalisme, Niels Stoltenborg’s childlike fascination with the Earth re-emerges. His work is based on an intuition: the colors and shapes of fruit and vegetables have both abstract potential and something to tell us.

Marion Livran est une artiste parisienne. D’abord formée à la gravure, elle a eu un coup de foudre pour la linogravure qu’elle pratique depuis 5 ans. Elle est très sensible au corps, à ce qu’il donne à voir, à toucher, à sentir, à ses mouvements, à sa densité, à sa composition… Elle cherche à capter la fragilité de cette enveloppe et la trace que nos émotions et nos vies y laissent, en surface comme en profondeur.

Ce sont ces moments d’épiphanies qui la fascinent, ces ondes qui nous traversent et nous font vivre : “J’aime m’intéresser à l’invisible, à ce qui met en mouvement ou à ce qui fige, le corps a des réponses avant même qu’on en prenne conscience (si on sait l’écouter). Ce sont ces moments d’épiphanies qui me fascinent, ces ondes qui nous traversent et nous font vivre“.

Victoire Orth is a young French photographer based in Paris. Passionate about photography for several years, it was during a trip to Brussels that she met Gil Rigoulet, and became his assistant. It was a collaboration that developed into a beautiful friendship, and today leads Gil to sponsor his assistant in order to make her work better known.

“Encountered by chance, a glance, words, in a draught in the main square of Brussels, Victoire, as long as an eyepatch, film camera on her hip, fresh-eyed as an 18-year-old, has no interest in the meanderings of a question. She poses to herself, looks into her sensibility and explores this natural light that grazes the skin like an intensity of having to live, her world is her proximity, her gaze is her awareness of building between graphics and emotion. She’s hungry for perfection and moves fast…
Victoire has been assisting me for 8 months, a joy! “
