Marie de La Ville Baugé
ARTISTE 2023
Marie de La Ville Baugé. Nomadic visual artist. Originally from France where I grew up surrounded by artists, I worked in Cambodia, Sudan and Russia. I made Portugal my new base camp and creative space.
Today, I write my own fiction by sewing and stitching stories and memories, adding texture to drawings, painting thoughts. For love enthusiasts, I draw a cartography of my desires, following known or unknown paths in my mountains or on the roads on papers with history, road maps, electrical plans, music scrolls. I am also very much concerned by climate change issues and therefore I am exploring how tempted Men are when listening to voices of enchantment, when trying to entirely dominate a divine woman called Nature and end up consumed by flames.
