Melancholic ambiances of old fashioned fairy tales combined with the most sophisticated techniques of contemporary graphic design make every single work of the young Parisian artist Lys Lydia Selinalhigazi an emotional experience to be fully discovered and lived. Every picture is the tale of an hidden universe, with its thousand facets and poetries, where, ravished, the romantic observer gets sweetly lost.

I love all fairy tales because of their ambiguity. An old fashion way to tell a story containing a creepy moral hidden inside, as well as all kind of symbols coming mainly from the opposite moral perspective. And as I play with those symbols as well as I do with oneiric or mythological figures, my characters have to be red as allegories themselves, representative of the dualistic nature of fairy-tales and human hypocrisy self.
