All of that at once!
Miniature painting is more than just a hobby: it's a space for expression, a creative medium where everyone can flourish without constraints.
Artistic activity, hobby or craft?
A vibrant painting
Let's move beyond perfectionism and the dictates of perfectly mastered painting or painting confined to preconceived color schemes.
You don't need to master complex techniques to enjoy bringing your projects to life. Painting is a pleasure in itself, without any sense of finality.
An open painting
We believe in a welcoming and supportive community where everyone, regardless of their skill level, age, or background, can find their place. Art is a universal language, and we want it to be accessible to all, without elitism or discrimination.
A living painting
Miniature painting is about telling stories, conveying emotions, exploring infinite and ever-changing universes. It's an invitation to experiment, to dare, and to reinvent our relationship with light and color.
A vision
In a very homogeneous environment, C'est Lavis is committed to making miniature painting more inclusive by organizing accessible workshops, valuing the diversity of styles and inspirations, and creating spaces for freedom. So that everyone can participate in this great journey within this small universe.
