ELSA JEAN DE DIEU

Hong Kong-based French muralist and visual artist Elsa Jean de Dieu is relatively new to the street art scene, but she is already creating a buzz with her playful, uplifting wall murals.

Elsa started her career in Asia in 2009 as an interior wall artist, after spending five years developing her craft at the prestigious Atelier Lucien Tourtoulou in Paris. Her inspiring energy and creativity have resulted in commissioned interior artworks for high-profile clients in Europe and Asia. Now venturing into the street art world, Elsa’s mission is to spread joy and happiness through her public wall murals, and to make a positive impact on people who see her art.

A top competitive trail-runner in Hong Kong, Elsa finds inspiration in nature and references elements from the diverse Hong Kong landscape in her sophisticated murals, tying together lightness and elegance with an edgy exploration of textures.

居於香港的法國壁畫家及視覺藝術家Elsa Jean de Dieu,或只是街頭藝術領域的「新人」,但她活潑有趣、令人開心的牆壁塗鴉,已經聲名大噪。

Elsa花了5年的時間,在巴黎著名的 Atelier Lucien Tourtoulou精進技藝,其後於2009年在亞洲開始了她的藝術事業,專注室內壁畫設計。充滿活力及藝術創造力的她,吸引了歐洲、亞洲不少大客戶,邀請她進行室內設計創作。如今,Elsa投入街頭藝術的世界,期望通過公共建築外牆的壁畫,能夠傳遞開心與幸福,為看見畫作的觀眾帶來積極的影響。

Elsa更是本港一名越野跑的高手,她在大自然中尋求靈感,亦會借鑑香港多樣的地形元素,加入她錯綜複雜的壁畫之中,在平衡明亮的色彩及優雅感的同時,她更嘗試探索性地使用新潮的材質進行創作。
