Dreamy landscape panels
- • Marie-Isabelle makes double-sided paper screens
- • Her creations have a mysterious transparency
- • She is inspired by nostalgia and nature
Marie-Isabelle Callier started out as a graphic designer and advertising illustrator, and subsequently focused on children’s books and painting. Since 2018, she makes painted room dividers with a special technique – she paints in watercolour on waxed Japanese paper. “I coat the paper with wax to make it waterproof and give it a velvety transparency that changes with the lighting,” she explains. With her double-sided screens, Marie-Isabelle aims to create a dialogue from both sides of the screen. “The murmurs of the material continue on the other side. Depending on the light, the transparency allows us to see a certain blur, a presence of light and delicate shadows. There is an invitation to go see and experience the material on the other side.” Marie-Isabelle is currently based in Luxembourg.
