You are Safe 8 by Juliette Lepage Boisdron

In her series Goddesses, Juliette paints women whose hair seems to be inhabited by countless heads, small floating presences that tell stories, memories, and invisible lives. A soft, luminous aura surrounds each figure, transforming them into beings that are at once powerful and protective. Through her drawings, she celebrates the woman’s ability to bring life into the world, a force she sees as almost divine. She also explores the role of the mother, attentive and protective, who watches over her children and the balance of the world.

Juliette Lepage Boisdron (b. 1971) is a multidisciplinary artist whose practice encompasses painting, drawing, and art jewelry. Born in Paris, her formative years were shaped by a culturally nomadic upbringing across North China, the U.S.S.R., the Arab Emirates, and sub-Saharan Africa, experiences that have profoundly informed her poetic and globally resonant artistic vision. She holds a Master’s degree in Art History from Sorbonne University, after which she embarked on a life of continual travel, immersing herself in the diverse cultures and traditions of the places she lived.
