Project

Jardins Migratoires is a long-term project that reflects on movement as a shared condition of both nature and humanity. Since ancient times, flowers and seeds have traveled across territories, adapting and flourishing elsewhere. Human histories are no different: every family tree carries traces of migration, displacement, and cultural crossings.

This project unfolds as a container of multiple series, each using different visual languages—digital illustration, pastel, screen printing, and textiles—to explore these stories. Through their diversity and transformation, botanical forms mirror the ways in which human identities migrate, intertwine, and reinvent themselves across borders.

SERIE I
2024/2025

The first series of Jardins Migratoires explores the fusion of human and botanical forms. Faces merge with petals and stems, becoming hybrid portraits that reflect identity, resilience, and cultural crossings.

The series began with ink drawings and evolved into digital illustrations created in Photoshop and Procreate between 2024 and 2025.

The works were produced in five different motifs, printed both on fine art paper and on textiles. The textiles were sourced in France and hand-printed in Colombia in collaboration with a distinguished silkscreen atelier. Each variation explores different colors and fabrics as part of the series.

These photos were taken in Montmartre, the neighborhood where I’ve lived for many years. Placing the works here connects my everyday life with the project’s story.

SERIE II
2025

This second series is rooted in my own biography, reflecting the dialogue between Colombia and France. Bringing together the Cattleya trianae, Colombia’s national flower, and the Iris, a historic symbol of France, the works explore memory, migration, and transformation. Created first as digital drawings in Procreate and later translated into soft pastel, they expand into different formats — a migrant garden where roots travel and bloom elsewhere.
