Michelle Bertaux, known by her artist name Cassandra, is a visual artist recognized for her delicate works, often created using printmaking or engraving techniques. Currently serving as Head of Acquisitions for the Maisons Victor Hugo, she combines her artistic expertise with a strategic vision to enrich the museum’s collection. As an artist, Cassandra explores abstract landscapes where organic shapes and the layering of textures and colors create a sense of movement and depth.

Her works, such as the one presented here, stem from a reflection on nature and the interaction between matter and light. The bluish tones and finely engraved details evoke an atmosphere that is both ethereal and grounded in the natural world, where silent contemplation invites the viewer to immerse themselves in the complexity of forms. This connection between nature and abstraction reflects a quest for essence that is both poetic and sensory.

Today, through her role at the Maisons Victor Hugo, she contributes to highlighting works of art while continuing her creative journey—subtly blending her artistic craftsmanship with a passion for heritage preservation.
