Information : Rachel, stylist by trade, created her heroine more than 10 years ago. We call it ''La Parisienne'': The wavy hair, the dominance of gold by Gustav Klimt, the audacity of Toulouse Lautrec and the modernity of Edmond Kiraz have greatly influenced Rachel since her early childhood. Thanks to her creativity, Rachel thus composes three-dimensional works with a predominance for painting and recycling brand bags, perfume bottles from major brands such as Dior, Chanel, Hermès, Louis Vuitton, Gucci, YSL... of gold, pearls, flowers will come together under his brushstrokes to give unique works. Rachel is a popular French artist that the fashion world adores. Her works are present in the collections of major designers and international collectors.

Information: The "Paper Dolls" collection draws its inspiration from the shared cultural universe. In the 1950s, women's fashion magazines featured paper dolls that could be cut out, dressed, and even adorned with wings—a concept that first emerged in 1810.

The artist connects this nostalgic childhood game, which influenced the 3D mixed-media dolls she creates today, to her artistic vision. Through this work, she extends the central theme of freedom that runs through her art. After all, who embodies freedom more purely than the innocent child of the future?

These dolls serve as a bridge between her own childhood and those of her audience, akin to a Proustian madeleine, evoking shared memories and emotions.
