Trained as an architect, Koral has quickly devoted herself full time to his artistic vocation. She's been working primarily aesthetic: it seeks to elicit emotion from the viewer visually, provided by the harmony of colors, the perfect balance of the composition and the constant search for perfection graph. Koralie draws its inspiration from the Japanese illustration, prints of the thirteenth century to the manga. His geishas are graphical icons mix sensuality and modesty, elegance and flashy colors. Beyond the first appearance naive or Japanese style of his work is the rigor of its design, the perfect symmetry of his compositions, and the play of textures and materials obtained by his collages, which seduce and transport the viewer into the elegant universe Koralie. Folk elements from other cultures in addition to his compositions: African braids, ringlets, Russian dolls, accessories Indian headdresses of the sixteenth century, kimonos, lamps ... Koralie likes to mix elements of different origins and manages to create a harmony of this association a priori heterogeneous. Her character geisha eventually became a pretext for the creation of new sets and elaborate costumes. To do so, she uses collage, graphic, acrylic, and more recently, and oil painting as favorite techniques. In parallel to Giclée (pronounced "zhee-clay") is a neologism for the process of making fine art prints from a digital source using ink-jet printing. The word "giclée" is derived from the French language word "le gicleur" meaning "nozzle", or more specifically "gicler" meaning "to squirt, spurt, or spray". It was coined in 1991 by Jack Duganne, a printmaker working in the field, to represent any inkjet-based digital print used as fine art. The intent of that name was to distinguish commonly known industrial "Iris proofs" from the type of fine art prints artists were producing on those same types of printers. The name was originally applied to fine art prints created on Iris printers in a process invented in the early 1990s but has since come to mean any high quality ink-jet print and is often used in galleries and print shops to denote such prints.
