Mime, is a French artist living in Paris. After studying art market design and contemporary art, he decides to try his hand at collage. Self-taught, his new hobby soon becomes a veritable obsession. Mime draws his resources from his travels, and his numerous visits to second-hand libraries. He browses, sources, skims, cuts, clips, trims, hides and glues visages and busts from all time periods, all eras. Mime’s work represents his mood, or experiences that have left their mark on him in some way. His chief inspirations: Egyptian aesthetics, antiquity, architecture both past and present, and his contemporary human experiences. The subjects of his collages all originate from second-hand books. There is -as of now- no digital intervention on any his works.
