With a strong interest in fashion, Amylee Emilie Garcia combines fashion and art in her art design.  A multi talented artist working in Paris, Amylee uses painting and drawing, fashion illustration, and collage for her work.  She mixes collage with acrylic painting to create brightly colored canvases with themes of women, film, and portraits, and inspired by vintage fashion with seventies wallpapers and prints.  She is most enthralled by joining plastic art with fashion, and she passionately explores different ways to combine her interests.

Amylee’s bright color palette changes with the seasons, as if her works of art were part of the fashion world, or perhaps a highly developed fashion illustration for the season.  Her style is influenced by Pop Art, as she integrates pop culture as well as reinterprets vintage textiles.  In Norma, from Amylee’s collection “Rockabilly Circus,” she mixes the three patterns of floral print, checks, and leopard print, which might ordinarily contrast each other negatively, but she employs an intelligent color palette of complementary orange and violet tones along with black and white to create a balanced composition of a stunning, vintage model.

Amylee enjoys trying new things in her work, and her array of interests play together beautifully as she bounces ideas off of various styles and art forms.  Amylee’s eye for color speaks to her talent in fashion design, and she experiments with colors and patterns to create dazzling canvases.
