My first name is Julie, they call me BuiBui.
Originally from the shores of Lake Geneva, I put my suitcases in Ain, next to a weeping willow. I live there with my lover, my pretty girl, my pretty boy, a lot of paper, a lot of paint and a bunch of crayons.
As far back as I can remember, I've always had a pencil in my hand.
Having studied Art History (mainly of the 20th century) at high school, I obtained a Bac L Plastic Arts in 2005 and then did a very brief stint at the National School of Fine Arts in Lyon. The teaching practiced was not made for me!
Since then I have been constantly painting, gluing, drawing and coloring, always on the lookout for new ideas and techniques. It's a necessity!
Inspired by children's illustration, singular Art, the culture of Street Art or even Primitive Arts, I work to develop a personal and poetic universe which is intended to be an invitation to travel, in worlds populated by melancholic creatures, and in which time often seems to stand still.
Based mainly on the human figure (often female) and nature, my work mixes false naivety, colors, patterns and other heady interweavings that are like so many paths in the course of our thoughts.
My characters and other landscapes each have a unique story that I tell myself when I give birth to them, and I like the viewer to imagine it in turn...
