Like Calder’s mobile, Virginie finds her balance in her imbalances, she is as light as air.
Trained as a pharmacist, her heart leans towards the cosmetics industry and marketing, far from the artistic world!
This passion for art was passed on to him by his family from his earliest childhood, by a painter uncle and a mother gifted for the arts. In short, a precious breeding ground to develop her creativity. Virginie is also Yogi, another art that has gradually become a true philosophy of life.
Virginia specializes in collage.
“Portrait maker, Story teller, Color lover” That sums up his style and technique!
She produces portraits on major themes such as love, femininity, family, commitment, fidelity, birth, in short, themes that are dear to her. These portraits are often made in the form of triptychs and tell a story through a choice of shapes and colours, because according to Virginie the colours
Virginie has two lives, artist on the weekends and product manager during the week, a wonder woman of sorts. We love the choice and the play of her bright colors, her cut-outs that remind us a little of Matisse’s, the sensitivity and the emotions that come out of it.
We like the quote from Eugène Delacroix dear to Virginia “Colour is par excellence the part of art that holds the magic gift. While the subject, the form, the line are first addressed to the thought, colour has no meaning for the intelligence but it has all the powers over the sensibility”.

The Girl with a Pearl Johannes Vermeer.

Niki de Saint Phalle so that we can create a “Nana” together!

Without hesitation the Musée d’Orsay for the beauty of this place full of history without forgetting its magnificent collection of impressionist paintings.
♥ Which piece of art would you buy without hesitation if you had an unlimited budget?
This is not an easy question, there would be so many. I would say Klimt’s “The Kiss”.

Paris, my city of my heart for its architecture, its museums, its gardens, its secret places.
My 3 favourite addresses:
Holybelly, because breakfast is a religion
Plaq chocolat, for their “bean to bar” philosophy
Ailleurs, where I go to find unique decorative pieces

“Réparer les vivants” by Maylis de Kerangal. The story of a heart transplant where the heart beyond its organic function, remains the seat of affects and the symbol of love.
♥ What are your biggest sources of inspiration?
Entrepreneurs for their courage to dare, their resilience, their creativity, their ability to do things differently. Nathalie Balla (La Redoute), Mercedes Erra (Havas), Aurélie Bidermann, Jeanne Damas (Rouje Paris) to name but a few… My sister Caroline for her unconditional generosity and her deep desire to spread love around her.
♥ What’s the funkiest thing you’ve done in your life?
Climbing Mount Fuji at night!
♥ What is your definition of happiness?
“True happiness does not look outside for its elements: it is within us that we cultivate it; it is from itself that it emerges entirely. We fall at the mercy of Fortune, as soon as we look outside for some part of ourselves”. Seneca
