Cyanotype

The Art of Slowing down : A Creative Exploration

An artistic expression that’s slow, intuitive… and naturally at home in my universe.

🌿 Ever since I discovered this technique thanks to the talented Audrey Losio, cyanotype has become a meditative playground—gentle, mindful, and deeply rooted in the present moment.

🎨 Today, I invite you to explore my cyanotype world through:

and creative workshops designed to introduce you to this unique practice (all the details are available on the dedicated page 👇).But why talk about cyanotype here? Simply because in 2023, thanks to the talented , I discovered this technique and dove into it. Today, my home is filled with my works and experiments.

My Practice of Cyanotype

This passion was born from a need for balance. At over 40 years old, I know myself well, and I need physical, creative, and intellectual activities. The proportions of these activities fluctuate throughout the year, but they are essential for me to feel whole.

So, my creative activity is cyanotype!

There’s a good reason for this: the principle of slow time. Cyanotype is a gentle, slow activity, similar to the yoga I practice. To create a simple postcard, for example, the process is divided into seven steps:

★ Gathering: During walks in my garden or nature.

★ Pressing: The chosen plants are pressed and dried (about two weeks).

★ Preparation: The support is prepared and left to dry away from UV light.

★ Composition: The elements are arranged as desired.

★ Exposure: The composition is exposed to sunlight or under UV light.

★ Washing: Rinse and watch the magic happen.

★ Final Drying: Let it dry, as the result can still evolve at this stage.

I still don’t see the connection…

During a yoga session, you are often asked to pay attention to your body and sensations. These moments awaken your imagination and stimulate your creative spirit. As a yoga teacher, I strive to awaken your creativity by directing your attention to specific sensations and sharing my own experiences. Through my words, I create detailed images that revive your memories, helping you compose a complete picture.

Cyanotype is one of the mediums I use to express inner creativity and nurture my ability to let go.
Just like in yoga, there is no perfection to reach—only a process to experience.
