MAGALI LAPEYRE-MIRANDE

Magali Lapeyre-Mirande is a French drawing artist living near Bordeaux. After working for many years exclusively on portraits, she began to combine her passion for nature and animals with that for art.

Through the series of drawings “Wild Spirits”, the artist illustrates the force of nature by exploring the deep connection between humanity and the animal world. Made with graphite and carbon pencils, these drawings depict a child as the protagonist, radiating innocence, curiosity and untamed potential, while a wild animal subtly stands in the background, symbolically representing different facets of their personality.

This visual exploration invites viewers to recognize and preserve their own wild nature, while celebrating the unwavering connection between humans and the animal kingdom. It highlights the need for humans to respect and preserve nature, as this symbiotic relationship is essential to our own survival and well-being.
