Coco de Paris painting on antique French magazines pages
French mixed media designer known as Coco de Paris, using pages of antique French magazines produced almost 200 years ago, draws beautiful vintage-like images on them. His work allows you to purchase a piece of France’s history period of Napoleon Bonaparte that’s still in “l’air du temps” (the times). Every creation is unique, it involves hand painting in acrylic on a different page of the antique paper including the beauty signs through time (spots, corner bends, uneven prints, old grainage, wear and tear, etc).

“My world is a fantasy, to create my prints I use a blender: I put inside my own original artwork, some vintage ephemera, some illusion, some reality, some past, some future, and a lot of imagination. I switch on the blender and you know what comes out of it? Coco de Paris! Amazing, no? The name of the blender? It’s an original “Art School” blender”.
