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: the spiritual quest and artistic expression.
As a child, I was already fascinated by the invisible, by esotericism and the mysteries of the soul… while colors, materials, and drawing were my natural languages.
In adolescence, I studied sewing for four years, dreaming of becoming a fashion designer. But the experience of factory work quickly shattered my illusions, pushing me to search elsewhere for the meaning I longed for. It was yoga that, at the age of twenty, opened the path: the peace, clarity, and presence it offered were a revelation.
Two years later, I was already teaching it. I had found my calling: to transmit.
Other explorations followed — relaxotherapy, hypnosis, energy healing — yet meditation always remained the beating heart of my life. For more than twenty years, it has been my foundation, my daily breath. Eastern philosophies have shaped my vision, my way of living, and inhabiting the present moment.
In parallel, art has never left me. Singing, dance, visual arts… so many ways of exploring the sensitive.
But collage, at the age of 46, came to me as an evidence. Assembling fragments of hand-painted papers, fabrics, and natural materials was like gathering the scattered pieces of my own path and weaving them into a new unity.
Still, I was missing a guiding thread. I found it in the Japanese philosophy of wabi-sabi.
More than an aesthetic, it is a way of life that invites me to embrace imperfection, to celebrate the passage of time, and to discover beauty in what changes, fades, or cracks.
At this moment in my life, when my hair turns white, when my body slows down, when personal losses have taught me the fragility of existence, wabi-sabi has become a precious companion. It helps me embrace impermanence — of my body, my youth, and even of the beings I love — and to see in it not a loss, but a form of poetry.
Each creation is a reflection of this inner journey.
They arise from a philosophical understanding inspired by Eastern wisdom: impermanence, the beauty of imperfection, the fertile void, the breath of the present, the unity found in the unfinished.
Papers, fabrics, textures, colors, stitches, and intuitive writings become traces of time, imprints of this spiritual search.
My collages do not seek to represent, but to evoke.
They are an invitation to slow down, to contemplate, to reconnect with oneself and with the world.
Each piece is unique — a soul imprint, a breath.
Today, I stand at the intersection of art and spirituality.
My intention is clear: to create and to transmit.
To create sensitive works that speak directly to the heart.
To transmit a philosophy that helps embrace life as it is: imperfect, ephemeral, yet infinitely beautiful.
Artistic Statement – Laurianne Félicité (Félilo)
Art has taken me to places I might never have explored otherwise — both within myself and in the world around me.
There have been reassuring straight lines, blurred turns, unforeseen detours, sudden halts… and at times, in the midst of it all, radiant revelations.
Every twist along the way has shaped my path as an artist — one guided by sensitivity, intuition, memory, and inner resonance.
Today, the wabi-sabi philosophy is my compass. More than an aesthetic, it is a way of life: embracing imperfection, honoring the passage of time, and discovering beauty in what shifts, fades, or breaks apart.
I am not seeking to depict what can be seen, but to give form to what is lived and felt — what lies beyond words.
Each work begins as an intimate response to these teachings. I choose colors as if they were inner vibrations, I hand-paint papers in gouache with spontaneity and freedom, I inscribe marks, intuitive writings, fragile traces of gesture. Then I cut, assemble, and layer until a quiet truth emerges.
My collages become fragments of existence — suspended moments, soul imprints.
They do not tell linear stories, but reveal unseen lessons: impermanence, the beauty of the imperfect, the subtle balance between emptiness and fullness.
My work does not need explanation.
It simply asks to be felt.
It is an invitation to slow down, to contemplate, to experience time differently.
To embrace the delicate, luminous poetry of impermanence.
