Marie-Ange Daudé, born in 1967, is a French artist who lives and works in the Gironde region of France. After studying development and urban planning, she immersed herself in the world of architects and artists and developed a particular interest in the process of creating her works. Her ecological streak is particularly evident in her early works, in which she reuses materials such as glass, cans or various crates. More recently, she has devoted herself to creating feather portraits: images of women with gentle, nostalgic yet powerful facial features. These delicate works are attached to almost invisible nylon threads, giving the impression that they are floating.
