I created Nelika following a first decoration that I made for me!

When I arrived in Mexico, I knew that the artisans were very talented but, without contact, I couldn’t find decorations that met my expectations, so I decided to take matters into my own hands.

I have always liked to create by myself. Hijacking objects, finding unexpected solutions, reusing things. Latest example: using an empty wine bottle as a rolling pin. Spoiler alert: it works perfectly!

Already as a child, I used to make all kinds of toys (I tinkered with my bike, made sculptures out of papier-mâché or wire…). As the picture shows, I also had a passion for salt dough!

Later, I customized clothes, furniture… I made terrariums, embroideries, macramé, used stabilized vegetable moss, clay, painted on all kinds of supports (flowerpot, canvas, cow skull, furniture…).

So when, once again, my friends asked me to create for them decorations identical to the mask I had made for me (Hi Maliha), I put on my superhero cape (the briefs on top of the suit is a fashion faux pas on the other hand) and I thought, after all, why not! Little by little, I drew one model, then two and, one thing leading to another, I now offer several collections.

What is important for me is to offer something different. Nothing is sadder to me than arriving at someone’s house and feeling like I’ve been there before because you find exactly the same furniture and decorative objects as at the neighbor’s house.
I want my creations to tell a story, to convey emotions, to make people travel.
