The Artists

A shared passion for Bodypainting

Originally from different regions of France, we have chosen to pursue our art while traveling, which allows us to share and enrich our creativity more widely.

We work all over France, as well as in Spain and Italy, where we regularly operate.

Sophie Navis

Sophie Navis is Franco-Indian. She has a wide range of artistic training, including music, dance and theatre, but eventually opted to study law.

After 10 years of traveling, she returned to France to devote herself to artistic activities. She first set up her own graphic design studio, Traces Graphiques, and then began making jewelry and accessories with Traces Créations, before exploring make-up artistry with Traces Ephémères.

For over 15 years, she has been working at carnivals, medieval feasts and fantasy festivals, as well as other major public events in France and abroad.

Her discovery of body painting a few years ago was a real revelation, and by merging her different artistic expressions she found infinite freedom of expression.

Carol Briée

After starting out in the hotel and restaurant business, Carol made a 180-degree turn by training in film and theatre make-up.

From there, she plunged into event management and explored the art of artistic make-up as a self-taught artist, specializing in body painting and the creation of original accessories for the stage.

At the same time, Carol devoted herself to producing shows for children. She co-writes comedies, creates costumes and props, builds sets, and takes to the stage.

Carol is also an actress and has taken part in numerous shows, plays, and cabaret evenings. Her job is her passion, fuelling her artistic commitment on a daily basis.

Within our group, and thanks to our artistic network, we are fortunate to have many artists who specialize in bodypainting, some of whom are among the best in their field. This wealth of human resources means that, for major events, we can put together strong, appropriate teams, with just the right number of make-up artists to meet your needs.

One of the great advantages of this collaboration is that we already know these artists and have had the opportunity to work with them on a number of projects. This guarantees perfect coordination, a fluid working atmosphere and genuine artistic quality.

What's more, thanks to this proximity and the diversity of our contacts, we always have artists available, even when dates overlap or unforeseen needs arise.

You benefit from a reliable, experienced team ready to take on any creative challenge.

Our network of Make-up Artists

A brush, a few pigments, and the artist reinvents the world on the curves of a body.

We work with models and artists from a wide range of disciplines, including dance, music, theatre, balloon decorating and magic. This diversity enables us to meet a wide range of needs.

For specific requests or projects requiring particular skills, we can also call on the services of partner artistic agencies, to guarantee high-quality, made-to-measure services.
