About the Item

Coming from the world of Street art, Lis Sam is a self-taught artist. Born in Tunisia in 1989, he arrived in France at the age of 11, where he entered the world of craftsmanship, developing a keen appreciation for aesthetic forms. As is often the case for many artists, his newfound passion was sparked by a chance encounter with a piece of art during a trip. Working on various projects over several years, it was a second encounter that became a clear calling when he visited a butterfly conservatory in the south of France. That's when the "blossoming girls" were born. The "Blossoming Girls" project has its origins in a visit to a butterfly conservatory in the south of France. The multitude of colorful butterflies gracefully fluttering around me occasionally creates abstract silhouettes, much like a child watching clouds, where imaginary faces appear. Captivated by the beauty of the spectacle before me, this suspended moment is a moment of grace. The exuberant flora of the conservatory forms a backdrop where the colors of the butterflies resonate with those of the flowers. An impression of intense life emanates from this spectacle and pushes me to capture it. The creative work begins with the preparation of shots in the studio, by imagining the floral settings that will serve as a support for his works Lis Sam's work can be described as both contemporary and optical art. In fact, as you move around the work, depending on your perspective, you'll see a unique work of art. Through his unique and enigmatic artworks, Lis Sam creates a world where felines blend harmoniously with the delicate beauty of flowers. Using thousands of carefully selected butterflies, each piece is a celebration of nature and its diversity. Butterflies, symbols of transformation and lightness, metamorphose into majestic felines, representing both grace and power. Their union with the flowers, blending beauty and fragility, evokes a delicate balance between strength and delicacy. As we admire this WILD collection, we are transported into a universe where the boundaries between animal, vegetation, and human blur, inviting us to redefine our relationship with the natural world. By weaving real, naturalized butterflies into his creations, Lis Sam invites viewers into the captivating world of a butterfly sanctuary. It's a vibrant tapestry of colors and textures. The naturalized butterflies seamlessly complement the floral headpieces worn by the models, forging a perfect union of nature and art. In his own distinctive manner, Lis Sam brings to life the mesmerizing ambiance of a butterfly sanctuary.
