Experience - Art by Virginie Menot

Transform moments, places, and people into lasting art.

Would you like to bring more

joy and lightness into your life?

Let’s co-create a piece of art made especially for your home.

Have you ever looked at friends or family members, sharing a quiet moment together, and wished it could last forever?

Do you sometimes browse through old albums, longing to bring certain memories back to life?

Does sitting in front of a landscape ever make you feel both small — and deeply connected to something greater?

My mission is to capture your special moments, places, and people:
spontaneous laughter, unspoken bonds, and quiet instants that leave you filled with peace and joy.

Through ink, watercolor, and gouache, I transform these feelings into an artwork you can live with — bringing softness, happiness, and quiet strength into your everyday life.

A quiet collaboration, shaped with care.

Words from those

I’ve worked with…

Dearest Virginie, I only gave you a few details on what I was expecting for my piece of art and yet you managed to transcribe into exactly what I wanted. The colors, the details, the mood just as if you knew better than me what this piece of art needed to convey. When I received my piece, It struck me and I got caught up in the moment, looking at it. I felt a wonderful wave of emotions. You are a gifted individual whose authentic and original presence is a gift. Thank you for this beautiful piece!

Thank you for creating an absolutely gorgeous family tree. It was a wonderful gift for my parents and will be treasured. Virginie was very helpful and patient and suggested various styles and details for the drawing and implemented my ideas perfectly! Shipping within Europe went smoothly. A big thank you to the talented illustrator !

I have ordered several pieces from Virginie and the results have always been magical ! Virginie is very professional in addition to being a very talented creative painter. She knows how to perfectly grasp the essence of my projects for a colorful and unique rendering. I trust her with my eyes closed. I recommend her 100%.

When I reached out to Virginie for a special order for a close friend I had nothing very specific in mind except that I wanted the art to represent my friend and touch his soul. It did more than that. The now owner of this piece of art was in tears with the emotion of such an intimate, detailed piece of work. Virginie captured so perfectly the essence of what defined him and his world there was no escaping the deep emotions it provoked. I know it will bring joy over many many years. Thank you Virginie !

We had just moved from another country when our 7-year-old daughter asked us to redo her bedroom as a way of anchoring in her new home. Instead of buying a meaningless commercial painting, we sent a photo of our daughter as well as the new layout of her room with a few objects that were close to her heart and Virginie was able to capture our daughter's soul in a drawing that now adorns one of the walls of his bedroom.

Do you offer prints of commissioned artworks?

Every project is unique, but on average, the process takes around one month from the moment your commission is confirmed to the delivery of the finished artwork.

Is a commissioned artwork a good gift?

Yes — commissioned pieces often make deeply meaningful gifts. Whether it’s for a birthday, a wedding, a new home, or simply to mark a special moment, I create each artwork with care and intention so it can be treasured for years to come.

What do you need from me to get started?

You don’t need to have everything figured out. A few reference photos, a place, or simply a feeling you’d like to capture is enough to begin. I’ll guide you through the process and help shape your ideas along the way.

What if I’m not sure what style or format to choose?

That’s perfectly fine. During our initial conversation, I help you choose the technique, format, and mood that best suit your project and the space where the artwork will live.

Does this resonate with you?

My intention is to create artwork that brings softness, peace,
and quiet strength into your everyday life.

Through ink and watercolor, I create images that invite you into places and memories where you can slow down, recharge,
and feel grounded.

If you feel a connection, I’d be happy to explore your project
with you.
