My business cards are here !

These cards are an extension of my artistic universe. With a design inspired by an enlarged detail from one of my works, they carry the texture, nuances, and energy of my art. Why a business card today ? Because a physical exchange has a power that digital communication can't replace—its materiality leaves a mark, a tangible reminder of a meeting. They will be available at my upcoming events and included with every order placed on my website !

NOUVEAUTÉ

Today, I am very happy to share with you a new development that marks an important step in my artistic journey: my business cards are finally ready!

Since the beginning of this adventure, I’ve always strived to convey a strong visual identity, an imprint that reflects my work and the universe I’m developing through my paintings. These cards are not just contact tools; they are an extension of my artworks, an invitation to dive into my art and my approach.

A design thought of as a work of art

Creating a business card is a more complex task than it seems. It wasn’t just about adding my information; it was about designing an object that is in harmony with my aesthetic and my universe.

I chose a minimalist design, yet with a strong artistic touch: the background of each card features an enlarged detail from one of my artworks. A fragment of my work, a pictorial texture that vibrates, intrigues, and tells a story even before one discovers my work in its entirety.

The format, typography, colors—everything has been carefully selected to ensure that this card is not just informative but carries the essence of my art within it.

A fragment of my work on each card

The image that forms the background of my business cards is a close-up of one of my paintings, capturing its texture, nuances, and energy. It’s from my collection "Beyond the Curves", a series that explores the perception of the female body, between abstraction and figuration.

The choice of this detail is no accident. It represents what guides me in my work: the idea that art can be seen from different perspectives, and that each fragment holds a piece of the story I tell.

Through this series, I question the external gaze on the female body, how it is perceived, transformed, and sometimes frozen into a role or imposed aesthetic. By extracting a part of this artwork to integrate it into my visual identity, I am choosing to make it a symbol of my work and my artistic inquiries.

Why a business card today ?

In a world where communication largely happens through digital means, where a simple @ or link is enough to connect us, one might wonder why create a business card.

The answer is simple: there is a power in physical exchange, in the materiality of an object that you hold between your fingers, slip into a wallet, and later find again as a tangible reminder of a meeting.

It’s also a way to create a more personal, intimate connection with those who discover my work. Each card is a small fragment of my universe that I can share during events, exhibitions, or unexpected encounters.

How to get them?

If you meet me at artistic events, exhibitions, or even during the Jeudis de Nîmes, you’ll be able to leave with one of these cards. I’ll also slip them into every order placed on my website, like a signature, a marker of my artistic identity.

Your opinion matters !
