About
Who is Agathe Chamignon?
Inspired by my native countryside and settled in Paris since my studies at Arts Déco and Duperré, I love drawing flowers and generously filled tables, where poetry, color, and sharing mingle. My relationship with foraging has nourished my practice: the bouquets I composed as a child in the fields have become my colorful palettes, while large family tables embody for me the joy of being together.
It is through colored pencils and pastels that I translate these simple, colorful moments of everyday life.
