Video interview with the multidisciplinary artist, the author of the monumental fresco dedicated to Josephine Baker, Gwendoline Finaz de Villaine. Gwendoline talents include dancing, singing, writing and painting. Feminist and autodidact, she shares with us her style, inspirations, plans and vision

Activist of eco-friendly and recycling, the creative pays special attention to the materials she is using in her craftworks. Former musicals’ singer and dancer at the Follies Bergères cabaret music hall, she is also a gifted writer, author of four published novels. All these creative experiences have been inspiring her paintings, which aesthetic lays halfway between calligraphy and graffiti with a tangible mystical touch.

Influenced by Cubism and Surrealism, in particular by Man Ray, but also by the Asian culture, Gwendoline is passionate about the 1920s and brings East and West into a constant conversation.

We met Gwendoline Finaz de Villaine after she produced an exceptional fresco of 1000m2, designed like a giant puzzle. This work is celebrating Josephine Baker – international star, resistant, civil rights activist, who entered the Pantheon in Paris, becoming one of the 7th women in the history who received such a highest honor. The entire esplanade, one of the most beautiful squares in the French capital was covered with a giant portrait of Baker, the piece of street art which Gwendoline, big admirer of Josephine Baker is very proud of.

A thin edge of seduction and the consumerism fetish is thoroughly blurred in Acosta’s art in the use of both light, and dark tones. Bold lines serve as a fashionable juxtaposition of a peaceful dream-like state and a vivid color, representing action and presence in the moment.
