This is ORIGINS, a poem I found the need to read at loud, even though you might have read it. You never heard it from the heart that sang it. Nor saw it through the soul that gave it life. This is a poem I wrote to express the idea of the need to go back to our element, somewhere that feels safe.                              My element is art, I love painting, it makes me feel grounded and happy. I get inspired by life and nature.  I feel myself when I paint, I feel like I'm truly connected to myself and my surroundings when I paint. I feel my body, my soul and my mind which is why it is so special to me, it can be so rewarding and refreshing.   If you have one, what's your element?   (Check out the last post illustrated by Evana  here )

This is a paper collage made of cut out magazines and dried orchid. I made it a while ago but I just found the video I made for it and forgot to post so that's why! However, looking back at the original post I published, I realised that I haven't talked about it at all, so here is the story behind this piece :) Do you feel disoriented too? Don’t you feel the same motion sickness of the mirage that happened? I did, it was beautiful but I almost fell. A very exotic mirage. She was mysterious and dazzling... Like an orchid.  I drew this reflection of the woman on her left, representing a sort of ethereal apparition. Through it all, I wanted to express the lightness of a dream, the ephemeral movement like an enchanting vision. The different purple tones are revealing purity, a lightness that I only remembered as being in my dreams.  Soir de Lune is a work that I made in order to tell a sweet dreamlike escape.

Over the past few months, I’ve felt a bit uninspired, I still created but I didn’t feel “in the zone” at all. I believe that it was because my mind was into school and not “creative mode”. I’ve been (and still am) having so many exams that I couldn’t think properly. This trip to England was for me the perfect occasion to switch off and unwind. Aaah…London…Cambridge…England. Some of you may know that I’ve already been to Cambridge and London before because I made another travel vlog and travel diary of a while ago ( here and there ). Yet, I haven’t really talked about the trip itself. So this is what I’m going to do now. England is one of those places that feel like a home away from home. I love it because of the people, the diversity of landscapes that somehow always feel familiar to me and of course tea and food. Basically everything?? But let me tell you how our trip went from the beginning before I get carried away! We flew to London Stansted on the 21...

What freedom is... This is the first post of a new theme entitled "What freedom is", I have already explained in my last post what my posts are going to consist of (click here to check it out). Vulnerability, honesty and freedom are ideas that i want explore through my creations. Fragility is especially an idea that I really wanted to express and discover through this process. What is fragility? What is vulnerability? What does it mean to be honest, capable of loving, capable of relying on people? This is basically what the following posts are going to be about : a vulnerability experimentation through art. Subscribe to my youtube channel  here  to watch more videos! Love, Mxx

So that's a quick little drawing that I made a few days ago entitled "soft feelings". It's about starting the new year with a head full of dreams, a heart full of love and happiness. I wanted to make a chill video that I can watch back to remember how it felt. Tell me what you think about it, I would love to know! Thank you ever so much for the ones who read my blog posts or watch my videos, it means so much to me! I do not own the music of this video. Music : a l e x - sleep next to me Love, M xx

As some of you may know, I've been away for five days in England for the holidays! We visited a new city each day : Newmarket, Cambridge, London then Bishop Stortford. Everytime time I travel somewhere, I always keep a travel diary where I like to draw landscapes I see, the food I eat and the memories I make. However, this time, I've decided to focus more on my photography skills to improve so this is the video I made to show you my travel diary! That's right, Cadmium red now has a youtube channel!!
