Isabelle Menin is a digital collage artist from Belgium. Her interest in art began when she was just a small child- she attended a theater performance and explained: “Immediately, I was hooked. I fell in love with the sets, the music, the emotions, the intensity – from that point on, my life was devoted to art. I became totally committed to the cause – or at least, to the feelings that it provoked in me.” Once she got older, Menin would go on to attend school at the Graphic Research School in Brussels where she explored painting, graphic design, and photography. Eventually she would develop a great interest in nature, and gravitated towards including natural objects in her work like plants and flowers. The work she does now is mainly digital, and almost always is a flowery composition with beautiful colors and seemingly infinite layers. She achieves this by photographing/scanning her flower subjects individually, then cropping them and layering them, using transparency effects to create a mystical atmosphere. The parts are then moved and manipulated digitally until the result is satisfactory.
