Sioou x Livia Caruso

We interviewed the artist Livia Caruso who created our new Animaux Totem set, discover below her profile, her background and her work: 

Hello Livia, can you introduce yourself? 

I am Livia Caruso, alias Livia Capillotracte. I am 24 years old and I am an illustrator.

Can you tell us about your style?

My style is very detailed and very fine. I will mainly address feminine, magical or even surrealistic themes very inspired by esoteric references, my dreams...

Can you explain to us how the Animaux Totem set was designed?

I consider that one can have several totem animals insofar as as soon as one feels a particular connection with an animal, its energy can inspire us, guide us or simply comfort us. It is really in this idea that I created my models so that our animals accompany us at every moment.

Nevertheless, I had so many possibilities that not everything would have fit into a single board, so I chose the ones that inspired me at first glance. I have also integrated some of my "signature" animals such as fish or birds, different sizes as well as symbols so that everyone can find their happiness and create beautiful compositions!

Do you have any other plans for the future? 

I have a botanical oracle project, an illustration of a fantasy novel, greeting cards for Christmas in collaboration with another illustrator from Lyon, an online store project, and I don’t quote them all because the list would be too long In any case, I would really like to develop ephemeral tattoos and propose new things!
