Visual Art – Montréal
Born under a star that whispers ancient secrets, Lily has always felt the call of light. From her early shell creations to the magical lamps she crafts today, her journey is an ode to wonder. Each piece she shapes is imbued with the essence of fairy tales, the whispers of invisible guides, and the sparkle of stardust, offering a glimpse into realms where dreams come true and imagination reigns supreme.
Through her vibrant and shimmering creations, Lily invites viewers to rediscover the wonder and innocence that often slip away in the whirlwind of daily life. Dive into enchanted worlds where light dances with shadows, and where magic awakens the inner child.
Born in Laval, France, in 1983, Lily has been creating since childhood, transforming everyday objects into magical treasures. Nine years ago, before moving to Canada, a dream was born: to stay connected with her nephew Théo and niece Laly despite the distance. It was then that the idea emerged to create a special light, a unique lamp symbolizing a luminous link across the miles. This pivotal moment forged a deep connection between light, magic, and the ethereal, shaping a unique artistic identity and opening the doors to the world of Fairy Art with Lily était une fois (Lily once upon a time).
Self-taught and driven by curiosity, Lily has honed her skills by experimenting with a wide variety of materials. Her creative process, rooted in sustainability, breathes new life into recycled objects. Working primarily with resin, lace, sequins, beads, and glitter, she also draws inspiration from the stories these materials hold. Each piece is guided by the intrinsic magic of the materials, whether it involves repurposing old jewelry or incorporating ribbons and textiles brought back from travels.
At the heart of Lily’s artistic approach is a deep commitment to wonder. Her works offer luminous and immersive experiences, transforming the mundane into a magical reality. Lily explores creative sustainability to reinvent the world around us, while encouraging everyone to find the courage to be themselves. By combining new and recycled materials, she creates pieces that embody both the past and the present, weaving a future filled with wonder, transformation, and magic.
Lily draws inspiration from nature, invisible worlds, and moments of contemplation. She transforms her walks, her discoveries of new and recycled materials, and her love for light into captivating works. Her creations blend the old and the new, the visible and the invisible, reminding us that beauty resides everywhere, even in the most unexpected details of daily life.
Through her art, Lily aims to offer experiences that inspire contemplation, joy, and emotional reconnection. Her works are portals to invisible worlds where the boundary between reality and fantasy reveals itself. In this contemplative pause, she invites viewers to dive into a universe where their inner child awakens, feeling a spark of wonder that rekindles their dearest dreams. By exploring this inner light, everyone is encouraged to remember that the child they once were still lives within them, ready to flourish in a world where magic and the beauty of everyday life emerge for those who take the time to seek them.
