​Estelle Magnin is a visual artist based in Paris. She works with photography and painting and started blending these two techniques since an artistic residency in Beijing.

​

Her style involves illusory aspects of the natural world. Her photography has a documentary style approach but she works through different styles such as street, landscape and portraiture. She first takes hold of what reality offers us, a reality that already possesses a great deal of fiction in itself. Her paintings on photography insist on this duality, being inspired in particular by the aquatic universe and (over)natural phenomena. She seizes an elusive emotion at the moment of taking the photo and translates it by imagination into painting. Her work probes the memory of the senses and questions the perception we have of the world and of images, blurring the tracks or the opposite.

She is represented in Asia by the gallery 丄丅乀 SPACE l God.Land.Person (798 Art District - Beijing)
