L’Inconnue de la Seine – A Mystery from the Past in a Contemporary Interpretation
In the late 19th century, the body of a young woman was pulled from the Seine. Her identity was never discovered, but the striking expression on her face—serene, almost smiling—inspired morgue workers to create a plaster cast of her features. This death mask quickly spread across Europe, becoming a symbol of beauty, mystery, and the fragility of life. Known as the “Unknown Woman of the Seine,” she was revered as a muse by artists, writers, and philosophers.
My portrait continues this tradition. I sought to give her a new life, reimagining her image through a contemporary artistic lens. The lines and textures in my work convey not only a visual representation but also a sense of time and memory, flowing seamlessly from the past into the present.

My portraits are an experiment with lines, texture, and form. For me, a line is not just a contour but a way to convey rhythm, movement, and surface depth. I explore how repeating and interwoven lines create texture, how they can simplify form while keeping it alive and dynamic.
