DAME Collection – Geometric compositions and a dreamlike universe
Discover the graphic world of DAME (of hearts), alias Julia Carosin, a multidisciplinary artist who develops her style through various projects, collaborations, and murals. Her history with painting began very early, and her desire to create and make things has never stopped. It is this special relationship with graffiti, with traces, with walls, that is at the origin of her singular style. Today, her graphic composition work mixes geometric lines, color gradients, architectural representations, and mainly Mauritian flora and fauna. Sometimes these subjects are treated more conceptually, filling her canvases and walls like a dreamlike setting with a strong attention to detail.
Who is DAME (Julia Carosin)?
Julia Carosin, who signs her works under the pseudonym DAME (of hearts), is a multidisciplinary artist whose journey reflects an early and constant passion for creation. Born with a paintbrush in hand, she has never stopped exploring, experimenting, creating, and making. This inexhaustible creative energy naturally leads her to various disciplines: painting on canvas, monumental murals, urban graffiti, collaborations with other artists, personal or commissioned projects. This versatility is not dispersion but enrichment: each medium nourishes the others, each project refines her style, each painted wall reinforces her technical mastery.
Graffiti, Trace, and Mural Culture
It is this special relationship with graffiti, with the trace left on the wall, that is at the origin of DAME's style. For her, graffiti is not simple vandalism or urban decoration, but a visual language in its own right, a dialogue with public space, a temporary appropriation of abandoned or offered surfaces. The wall becomes a support but also a creative constraint: its texture, its imperfections, its history influence the final composition. This mural culture, practiced for years, now permeates her canvases: one finds in them the urgency of the graffiti gesture, this total occupation of space, this assumed directness that immediately captivates the eye. The passage from wall to canvas is not a break but a translation: the same spirit inhabits both media.
Influences and Creative Universe
- Graffiti and mural culture – Trace, space occupation, urban gesture
- Geometry and lines – Structured compositions, pure forms
- Mauritius – Fauna, flora, architecture of the tropical island
- Dreamlike universe – Conceptual settings, attention to detail
Geometric Compositions and Gradients
DAME's graphic composition work is characterized by a subtle balance between geometric rigor and colorful sensuality. Geometric lines structure space, create zones, delimit planes that overlap or intertwine. These lines are never cold or austere: they serve as a skeleton for color gradients that bring depth, movement, and emotion. A turquoise blue gradually blends into emerald green, a coral pink gently turns into lavender purple, a solar yellow darkens into earthy ochre. These skillfully mastered color gradients give the compositions an atmospheric, almost cinematic dimension, where light seems to flow through the geometric shapes.
Mauritian Flora and Fauna
Mauritius, an island in the Indian Ocean, deeply inspires DAME's work. The Mauritian fauna – endemic birds like the Mauritian Blackbird with black plumage and red tail, White-tailed Tropicbird with long white feathers, sea turtles that lay eggs on the beaches, colorful fish evolving in the lagoon – populates her compositions. The lush tropical flora – flamboyant trees with scarlet flowers, fragrant frangipani, overflowing bougainvillea, palm trees swaying in the trade winds – invades her canvases and walls. These natural elements are never represented in a purely realistic way: they are stylized, geometrised, integrated into compositions that reveal their essence rather than their superficial appearance. A bird becomes a graphic silhouette with precise contours, a flower transforms into a decorative motif with geometric petals.
Architecture and Urban Representations
Architectural representations also hold an important place in DAME's universe. Mauritian colonial buildings with colorful facades and wrought iron balconies, contemporary structures with clean lines, urban perspectives where tradition and modernity mingle: architecture becomes a subject of composition just like nature. This attention to human constructions reveals an artist attentive to her environment as a whole, celebrating human creations as much as those of nature. The architectural lines, naturally geometric, harmonize with her graphic style, creating visual continuity between natural and urban elements.
Dreamlike Setting and Attention to Detail
Sometimes these subjects – fauna, flora, architecture – are treated more conceptually, moving away from representation to create dreamlike settings where imagination reigns. Her canvases and walls then fill with hybrid motifs, fantastic creatures, impossible landscapes that borrow from Mauritian reality while transcending it. These conceptual compositions reveal a rich mental universe, a teeming imagination that does not content itself with reproducing the visible but invents parallel worlds. In these dreamlike settings as in her more figurative representations, DAME demonstrates a strong attention to detail: each color zone is carefully delimited, each line is precisely drawn, each element finds its place in an overall composition that is thought out and mastered.
Murals and Collaborative Projects
Murals constitute an important part of DAME's activity. These monumental interventions on urban facades allow her to reach a wide audience that does not necessarily visit art galleries. The exterior wall, exposed to the elements and the constant gaze of passers-by, requires impeccable technique and a composition that works both from a distance and up close. Collaborative projects with other artists, musicians, designers, enrich her practice by confronting her visual universe with other creative sensibilities. These encounters generate hybrid works where styles and approaches blend, demonstrating DAME's ability to engage in artistic dialogue while maintaining her graphic identity.
