Barthelme

My name is Cynthia Barthelme and I'm 21 years old.

I began my artistic career with two years of interior design at LISAA Strasbourg from 2022 to 2024, but I quickly felt the need to get out of the box, to create a freer universe. It was this need that naturally led me to art.

Since September 2024, I've been studying at the École Supérieure d'Art Annecy Alpes, where I've been developing a body of work deeply rooted in the imaginary, creating characters and monsters.

I see myself as an emerging artist. In 2025, I took my first public steps thanks to the Révélation by Art Up competition. For me, creating means channelling disorder and telling stories.

Each character has a little story, inspired by the night, a mood, a feeling or even the living world. They are figures who invite the audience to forget the world around them and let their imaginations run wild.

I see myself as the scriptwriter of my own universe. A universe where nothing is set in stone, where everything can change at any moment.
