Project Florizale
If you have ever seen on the street a small Lilliputian door, very colorful, made of wood or Fimo pasta, it is possible that I was there!
"Florizale Project" is an artistic project based mainly in the city of Bourges (France), my hometown, but little by little I have been exporting it to all the places where I have had the opportunity to travel, other cities in France such as Paris, Lyon, Orleans, Cannes ... and other countries such as Spain (Madrid, Ibiza, Barcelona, Valencia and Seville), London, Holland (Amsterdam), Belgium (Brussels); India (Mysore) ...
The doors are all carefully handcrafted and each has its own little dose of magic!
I draw inspiration from everyday life, films, music and especially the place to create unique entrances.
These doors are there to break the routine and invite you to take a stroll, with family or alone.
These are secret passages to imaginary worlds.
Some make you want to go in every day, others just pique your curiosity, and then there are the ones I put up for Halloween, which I prefer not to go through. (I'm a bit of a scaredy-cat.)
I'm not the only one creating miniature doors, but each one has its own style, and that's what makes this magical little world even more fascinating. I myself have already discovered doors by chance in Bruges that weren't mine. The style was different, but I got caught up in the game while searching for them.
What once was a wall becomes an entrance that opens onto the imaginary.
Doors are a good way to help open the imagination of young and old alike.
In my imagination, they are full of fairies that come to bring positive energy to the street, bring us good luck and allow the inhabitants to see their city in a different and touristy way.
During a walk through the city, break the usual routine and allow you to escape a moment in an imaginary world.
The doors are accessible to people of all ages. My goal is to inspire curiosity and exploration, highlighting the neighborhoods and monuments of the cities where I place them.
