ADVENTIS

Adventis: sensitive portraits between urban art and textile collage

Born in 2000, Adventis is a French street artist known for her “textile” portraits and singular pictorial technique. Her name refers to wildflowers that grow freely where they are least expected—much like her instinctive, sensitive, and deeply organic artistic approach.

An Asperger artist, Adventis—whose real name is Eva Husson—creates work defined by remarkable precision and strong emotional intensity. Initially trained in floral art before becoming self-taught in painting, she developed a hybrid technique combining textile collage and acrylic paint, which has become her distinctive signature.

Her creative process begins with photographing faces that provoke an immediate emotional response. From these images, she builds her portraits by assembling fragments of fabric sourced from artisan members of the Compagnons de France. Each textile is chosen for its texture, color, and energy, then integrated into a meticulous mosaic that shapes the face.

Once this textile base is complete, Adventis applies acrylic paint to unify the forms and reveal the subject’s expression. Her portraits, strikingly realistic, are distinguished by an inner luminosity and a strong emotional presence that instantly captivate the viewer.

An emerging figure on the contemporary art scene, Adventis stands out for her original visual language and intuitive approach to portraiture. Her works—at the crossroads of collage, textile, and painting—appeal to collectors and enthusiasts of contemporary urban art seeking singular, emotionally resonant creations.
