Laetitia Vasseur is a French artist based in Lille whose practice unfolds between painting, photography and material exploration. Centered around encaustic — an ancient technique combining beeswax and natural resin — her work develops through layered surfaces where image, texture and light slowly merge into immersive and atmospheric compositions.
Originally rooted in photography, her practice progressively evolved toward a more tactile and organic relationship to image-making. Through processes of superimposition, absorption and transformation, photographs dissolve into fluid landscapes suspended between abstraction and perception. Matter itself becomes an active element of the composition, shaping fragile spaces where forms appear, shift and gradually fade.
Deeply inspired by the living world and its continuous mutations, Laetitia Vasseur creates works that evoke mineral, vegetal and aquatic presences without ever fully fixing them into representation. Her surfaces seem to retain traces of memory, erosion and time, inviting a slow and contemplative experience of looking.
Through subtle chromatic variations, translucent textures and delicate spatial tensions, her work explores the porous frontier between landscape and inner perception, creating silent and immersive environments where the image remains in a state of continuous transformation.
