Liliwenn El Ina

Liliwenn originates from the fringes of the Atlantic Ocean, a place that can often seem much like the edge of the world. Her work is defined by an exploration of paradoxes and contrasts which is at once torturous and utopian, wild and serene, definitely resilient. Concurrently with her personal work, as a free agent she punctually collaborates with painters, musicians and directors from various countries. 
 
In 2009, she was spotted by a brand of street wear clothing based in Bristol, and worked with them on the launch of a limited edition clothing line that included the painting “The Little Girl”. In 2010, her local council called upon her to design a huge mural to be painted across an entire apartment block. Then, several months later she set up the “Crimes of Minds” project, aiming to inform, develop and push the boundaries of street art. In 2011 she played a part in videos: for instance, she painted a fresco in a promo  for the ASM’s hit ‘Splice the Mainbrace’ in Paris, and she organized the movie shooting of “Crimes of the Mind” with the director Pierre Jampy and the musician Mattic (Wax Tailor crew & The Others) in Brest.
