Read MoreAll artists are shaped by their influences. From an early age, they draw their inspiration from the artistic atmosphere that surrounds them; Virginie's parents were abstract art enthusiasts and collectors. Virginie explored the world of colors and shapes from an early age, and from the age of four, her dream space was nourished by the works of the colorists of the Ecole de Paris.
But her overflowing imagination later enabled her to go beyond the universe of the many artists she discovered to create a highly personal body of work.
Today, Virginie is an accomplished collage artist and mixed media explorer. Her unique, vibrant creations combine photo work, paper, watercolors and acrylics, illuminated by the bewitching light of Mauritius, where she lived for several years. For her, everything is an invitation to an inner journey.
And why "The Collage Quest"?
The word "Quest" suggests an adventure, an active search. It can be interpreted as a metaphor for the creative process of collage, where Virginie explores and experiments with different materials and techniques to find her unique voice.
The idea of a journey also evokes the notion of discovery and transformation, which are essential elements of collage art.
