Portraits de Famille is a series of posed digital portraits that reinterpret classical family photo codes through floral elements, vibrant colors, and stylized costumes. Each image evokes the aesthetic of a framed picture displayed on a mantelpiece—revisited with a touch of surrealism and ornamental detail.
In the age of social media, the series questions appearance, idealized identity, and the fabrication of memories. These are “imagined family portraits,” blending nostalgia and fiction, where hyper-curated scenes echo the visual language of platforms like Instagram or Pinterest. This notion of staging the family, as discussed in this research article, highlights how private life becomes performative and curated, even in intimate imagery.
This attention to the codes of appearance, stylized settings, and idealized self-representation—where fiction and reality blur—also echoes the spirit of the Blue digital portrait of Marie-Antoinette , where ornament becomes a visual language.
