 Pascal Guibert, also known under the pseudonym "LILLY", is an artist born in 1970 in Aix-en-Provence, France. His artistic career is marked by a dazzling transformation, a radical change that led him from advertising to a flourishing career in the world of painting.
 A graduate of an art school and a former student of Beaux-Arts, Pascal began his career in the field of advertising, where he worked for nearly two decades. However, his passion for painting eventually took over his work in advertising, pushing him to follow an artistic path.
 His thirst for knowledge led him to become a student at the Academy of Art in New York City, and then at the Art Students League, also in NYC. He sought to master various artistic techniques, ranging from drawing to classical painting, including screen printing and cyanotype. During this period, he traveled extensively between New York City and the South of France, absorbing the influence of these two distinct artistic worlds.
 In 2013, Pascal established his own studio in Brooklyn, New York, where he collaborated with several renowned American art galleries, including ROX, KRANE Gallery and ARTEMISIA. He also participated in Brooklyn’s “OFF” art fair, the “Bushwick Open Studio”, alongside other emerging artists from around the world. His artistic reputation continued to grow, and in 2015, after a month-long residency at the art center “The Laundromat” in Florida, directed by American artist David Mc Cauley, Pascal Guibert, aka LILLY, signed with the LULU Laboratorium gallery in Miami’s renowned Wynwood neighborhood, known for its vibrant art scene.
 One of the distinctive features of LILLY’s work is her way of interrogating the iconic images that surround us, whether it is the Mona Lisa, Botticelli’s Venus, religious figures from the Renaissance, or celebrities such as Marilyn Monroe. These images, which have become ubiquitous in our modern society, have lost their original and sacred meaning. LILLY redefines them with a bold palette of bright colors and expressive strokes, breathing new life and perspective into them. Botticelli’s Venus thus becomes a modern woman in vibrant colors, while the Madonnas are no longer holy figures, but simple images in vibrant hues, just like Marilyn Monroe or Madonna.
 Through her art, LILLY invites us to look at these familiar images with fresh eyes, free of preconceived judgment, in order to give them renewed strength and meaning. Her artistic work illustrates the power of reinterpretation and creativity to give new impetus to images that have marked our visual culture.
