Octavie will arrive at Kilen in July and during two weeks she will explore Kilen and surrounding areas as well as concentrate on her artistic work as a writer.
Born in the 1990's, Octavie left the South of France to immerse herself in the seventh and the ninth art.
After studying cinema, children's literature and working in the comic book industry, she decides to take a walk on the wild side: the written one.
Since 2023, she has published poems in various magazines and has developped several projects for illustrated books and graphic novels.
Sensitive but tenacious, Octavie continues to poetize fictional worlds in a variety of mediums and genres, in the incandescence of the French Riviera.
Kilen Art Residency is a pilot project with potential for further development in the future.
