About the artist: Hélène Le Chatelier

Hélène Le Chatelier studied Art in Paris at l’Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Arts Appliqués et des Métiers d’Art, Olivier de Serres, where she graduated in Fine Art Fresco painting with highest honours. She also holds a Master Degree in Aesthetics and Art Philosophy, with distinction, from Université Paul Valéry (France). Since her first exhibition in Paris right after her graduation, Hélène embraced various modes of expression : painting, sculpture, photography, video, installation, writing. Best known for her ink and photographic bodyscapes and her works with paper engaging writing and abstract landscapes, Hélène studies the influence of memory and social context on our intimate space.

About the artist: Nicolas Lefeuvre

Nicolas Lefeuvre places upcycling at the heart of his artistic approach and commitments. In 2019, he participated in the exhibition “Surcyclage, la deuxième vie des choses” at Merci (Paris), a reflection on consumption and the rebirth of objects through creation. His commitment also extends to humanitarian causes: in 2023, he spent a month in Cambodia with the SBC association, teaching drawing to children in Kratié. In 2024, part of the proceeds from his exhibition in Lisbon was donated to Save the Children. He also supports Enfants du Mékong and LP4Y, donating artworks sold at charity auctions to fund the education of underprivileged youth.
In his creative process, he prioritizes reclaimed materials, using found objects, worn denim canvases, and ink made from cultivated indigo pigments, embracing an approach akin to Arte Povera.

About the artist: Lena Nikcevic

Lena is a pluridisciplinary artist, born in 1977 in Montenegro. She lives and work between Germany and France. First and foremost a painter,she also integrates her work into other fields such as illustration, design and installation.
