The Art of Becoming
See you on November 14 to discover my collaboration with the beautiful Xacus brand.

Xacus

Artist - paper set designer

Working with an incredible team (photographer, animator, assistants), Anaïs produces original content in stop motion, pop-up and paper scenography.

'Monstrus' is a unique totemic bestiary in cut paper.

These sculptures are inspired by nature, the environment, chimeras and mythological monsters. Joyful and colorful, these monsters are surprising with their multiple eyes and fluorescent paint.

Original sculptures, original artworks, fine art prints, flip books...
