Vinie grew up in Toulouse and loved drawing and painting from a young age. In high school, she started doing street art when she joined the “AH Crew” in 2001.
Back then, she mostly worked on graffiti lettering. Over time, she joined art events and worked on themed murals, which inspired her to create colorful characters and detailed scenes.
In 2007, Vinie moved to Paris for a job as an Artistic Director. This move helped her focus on her own style of art. She began painting her now-famous female character on Paris walls. These characters are easy to spot with their big, bold hairstyles made of graffiti tags and designs. Vinie also likes to use things around her, like plants, to make her art blend into its surroundings.
With help from her art partner Anti, she started making sculptures in 2016 and again in 2019. Today, Vinie’s art is known all over the world. She takes part in urban art festivals and shares her creations across different countries. Her work mixes her love for painting and traveling, bringing bright and creative designs to city streets everywhere.
