"My love for life began with its decay and reassembly."
Raised on Brittany’s tidal flats, Aélia collected shells, seaweed, and dead fish as a child, sketching “marine debris archives.” She says: “My love for life began with its decay and reassembly.”
After dual training in art and biology, she chose painting over lab work — turning her canvas into a hybrid laboratory. She scans microscopic images, anatomical plates, and antique botanical illustrations, then overpaints, recombines, and reimagines them.
Her series Nexus (IDs 6–9) began during 2020 lockdowns: as the world fixated on viruses and isolation, she painted the threads between things:
- White snake coiling around calla lilies → desire and purification entwined;
- Oyster cradling neurons → memory calcified, protected;
- Magnifying glass revealing a skull → observation as intervention;
- Beagle beside lobster → questioning human hierarchies of life.
