Design Inspiration:
I draw inspiration from both the intricate microcosms and expansive macrocosms that define our world. Whether contemplating the vastness of the universe or examining the minutiae of textures shaping the natural realm, my focus centers on the mineral domain, encompassing mountains, stones, and crystals.
My latest creation, titled «A Life in Chessy,» draws inspiration from the captivating mix of azurite and malachite minerals. This stone serves as my guiding North Star, shaping my journey in this world. Employing a technique reminiscent of Tibetan masters, I craft my own pigment from this mineral, infusing it into my paintings. Chessy, a French city where this stone is found, holds a special place in this artistic narrative.
Laetitia Guyon
Laëtitia Guyon, (b.1987) is a French artist who works with natural pigments on Japanese Washi paper. Raised in the Parisian suburbs near Giverny, the home of Monet's famous residence and garden, she was deeply influenced by the Impressionist works that surrounded her.
At 20, Laëtitia's fascination with Asian cultures and philosophies led her to spend five years living in a Nepalese community. Their kindness and depth made her feel like she had found a second home, providing significant insights and inspiration. Laëtitia’s early abstract work evolved to incorporate the aesthetics and energetic properties of the vegetal and mineral worlds, with notable series such as A Life in Chessy and Chromatic Mysteries. Her themes often explore nature's secrets and creative expansion.
Influenced by a wide range of artists, from Monet and Signac to Kupka followed by Kandinsky, Hilma af Klint and Georgia O’Keeffe, Laëtitia has participated in group exhibitions in Paris and New York. She is an emerging artist who continues to develop her unique artistic voice while enjoying travelling, trekking and worldwide philosophical teachings.
