(French, b. 1965)
Enchantement
Florence Comas was born in Paris, France, and grew up in the Place des Vosges in The Marais district, known famously as the place where Victor Hugo once lived.
Comas’ early life was taken up with dance, piano, painting and fashion, activities coordinated by her parents. These artistic components would form the foundation for her creative endeavors. Encouraged by her mother to paint and design, Comas drew inspiration from the runway shows of Haute Couture in which her mother worked.
At 20 years old, she produced her initial sketches, followed by her first creations of clothing and accessories for the fashion world, using such materials as pearls, embroidery and precious fabrics.
After fashion, she experimented with collage, and then painting, ultimately merging those forms to create imaginative depictions of dreams, phantasms and angelic creatures, motifs and characters she continues to portray in her current works.
