Alix Waline
"I'm not looking to represent, but to capture the flows and energies that run through living things, and show an invisible reality by crossing the boundaries from the infinitely large to the infinitely small".
Alix Waline is a French artist known for her large-scale, in-situ drawings that blur the line between fine and decorative arts. After studying at the Beaux-Arts de Paris and La Cambre, she began experimenting with immersive drawing during a stay in Thailand. Her abstract, organic forms unfold across walls, paper, and objects, exploring the link between internal states and external landscapes.
Using simple tools like black felt-tips, ink, and pencil, Waline employs a meticulous pointillist technique to create rhythmic, optical surfaces that feel alive-like a living organism expanding through space. Her drawings become tactile extensions of the body, aiming to capture the invisible flows and energies of life.
With collaborations for Gilles & Boissier, Cartier, Diptyque, and Pinton, Waline continues to dissolve boundaries between art and design, proposing drawing as both medium and material-something to be experienced as much as seen.
