Maëlys, born in 1999 in Toulouse and currently based in Paris, is a multidisciplinary artist whose practice spans sculpture, installation, photography, and video. She holds a BTS in fashion and a DSAA in image from the Duperré School, and is currently in her third year at the Beaux-Arts de Paris.

Through her work, Maëlys is interested in how the living reclaims space, reinventing a form of poetic resistance. She questions the notions of margins and the invisible, exploring the blurred boundaries between the living and the non-living, the human and the non-human. Her work examines the resilience of "nature" in the face of modern world crises, while also addressing issues related to our relationship with the future, resource exploitation, and the legacy of a society in transformation. She is particularly fascinated by the traces left by the different eras the Earth has gone through, in order to imagine the ruins, fossils, and other remnants of our time.
