Virginie Hotte is a contemporary collage and mixed-media artist who uses collage as both a free and structuring mode of expression. Her practice connects photography-based art, visual texture, and layered composition to create a personal language positioned between reality and imagination.
Each artwork begins with a personal photograph, often captured during her travels. This image becomes the foundation of the piece, then evolves through transformation, layering, and recomposition. The result is a visual landscape—sometimes abstract, sometimes figurative—shaped by emotion, memory, and perception.
In a fast-paced world saturated with images, Virginie Hotte’s collages offer moments of pause and reflection. Through cutting, layering, and assembling, she explores themes such as memory, trace, and the different strata of reality. Every visual fragment becomes a way to question time, experience, and the construction of meaning.
Her artistic process places the initial photograph at the center of a broader transformation, affirming collage as a medium of thought, memory, and contemporary visual experimentation. Now based in Belgium, she continues to develop a unique body of work rooted in sensory experience and photographic observation.
