Félilo Art
Artist of sensitivity, guided by the spirit of Wabi-Sabi
My name is Laurianne Félicité -
And under the name Félilo, I create an art of sensitivity — an art of feeling.
Two forces have always nourished my life: art and the spiritual quest.
As a child, I was fascinated by the mysteries of the soul and the unseen, while colors, textures, and drawing were my natural languages.
As a teenager, I studied sewing, dreaming of becoming a fashion designer. But the reality of factory workshops quickly turned me away from that path, and at the age of twenty, yoga opened another horizon: peace, clarity, and presence. For more than twenty years, I taught and explored meditation and energy practices that deeply shaped the way I live and perceive the world.
And yet, art has never left my side. Singing, dancing, visual arts… different ways of exploring sensitivity. Over time, it was the assemblage of materials—paper, textiles, natural fibers, elements gathered in nature—that revealed itself as my true language. Today, my creations take the form of natural soft sculptures and hanging works, inspired by Japanese kakemono reimagined in a contemporary voice.
The guiding thread that gives unity to my work, I found in the Japanese philosophy of wabi-sabi.
For those who may not know it, wabi-sabi is an art of living that invites us to recognize beauty in imperfection, simplicity, and transience. It teaches us to see the precious in a crack, a trace, a material marked by time. Where our culture often seeks perfection, wabi-sabi reminds us that fragility, unpredictability, and impermanence are what make things unique and profoundly beautiful.
This vision nourishes both my art and my life.
It helps me embrace slowness, loss, the transformations of body and time — not as diminishment, but as poetry.
In my works, it takes shape through imperfect textures, raw materials, sensitive overlays, inhabited spaces of emptiness — traces of impermanence and memory.
My intention is simple: to create works that are both poetic anchors and spaces for contemplation.
Unique pieces, fragile and vibrant, inviting us to slow down, to breathe, to reconnect with the living.
At the intersection of art and spirituality, my path is to share a vision: to welcome life as it is — imperfect, fleeting, and yet infinitely beautiful.
Artistic Statement – Laurianne Félicité (Félilo)
Art has led me into territories I would never have explored otherwise — neither within myself nor around me.
Straight, reassuring lines, unexpected detours, blurred turns, sudden stops… and sometimes, in the midst of it all, luminous revelations.
Each of these paths has shaped my way of being an artist: a creator of sensitivity, intuition, memory, and inner resonances.
Today, the philosophy of wabi-sabi offers me a compass.
More than an aesthetic, it is a Japanese wisdom that invites us to embrace imperfection, to honor the passage of time, to find beauty in what changes, fades, or cracks. It helps me see each work as a fragile, living space — a fragment of poetry embedded in matter.
My creations take form through paper, textiles, natural fibers, and elements gathered from nature.
Assembled, woven, or suspended, these materials carry the marks of time and life. Their roughness, softness, transparency, or patina become sensitive languages that speak of memory, impermanence, and fragility.
These works do not aim to represent, but to evoke.
They do not tell a linear story, but reveal the subtle balance between emptiness and fullness, the beauty of imperfection, the poetry of humble things.
What I create does not need to be explained.
It only needs to be felt.
It is an invitation to slow down, to contemplate, to inhabit time differently.
To embrace the fragile and luminous poetry of impermanence.
