Margaux Carpentier

Multifaceted artist, Margaux Carpentier is an illustrator, muralist and creator of objects. Powerfully dreamlike and phantasmagorical, her very personal graphic universe creates a world where shapes and colors are the energy and translations of emotions.

It is this ability to capture the essence of things and translate them into images that gave birth to Tienda Esquipulas’ collaboration with her to create products and a scenographic universe immersed in Latin American roots.
