MVN creates immersive sculptures and installations, with blurred physical and immaterial boundaries.
MVN is a French multimedia artist who explores the human condition and its close links with Nature, her main source of inspiration.
Her surrealist creations are populated by organic creatures, chimeras mixed with plants.
The intention is to question the observer about the links between man and the Nature that surrounds him, their connections.
Also known in the metaverse under the pseudonym Cherry Manga,
MVN has been creating immersive installations in metaverses since 2007 such as Second Life and OpenSim.
Passionate about the use of technological tools, MVN uses digital images, video, virtual headsets, modeling software, but also artificial intelligence, favoring open-source applications where possible.
Her current work is mainly focused on creating 3D printed sculptures with bio-sourced polymers, which are painted and to which MVN adds elements such as gold leaf or stabilized foam.
