La Mandrine, who are you?

My name is Nadège Bucaille, illustrator, patient observer of nature and experienced Artistic Director. A collector of aesthetic emotions, I grew up surrounded by the wild flowers of Haute-Savoie. In my herbarium, the legacy of a grandfather who loved gardens and botany, creator of a unique variety of old rose: La Mandrine.

Very early on, the graft took hold and I also chose to travel my path cultivating beauty. A graduate of Fine Arts in Geneva, I worked as an Artistic Director for 25 years, serving big names, always with this desire to capture emotion when it presents itself.

Today, I am taking a sideways path to return to my first loves. Extending the exploration of digital tools and creating original floral patterns is the idea of ​​my collection The Graphic. But also rediscover the long term, that of the application and care taken to faithfully represent a plant, in all its delicacy and vulnerability, with the techniques of stitching – The Pointing One collection – or botanical drawing – The Botanist collection.

These illustrations are intended to come to life on the carefully chosen material, the grain of a paper, the softness of silk or, why not, the porcelain of fine tableware.

“It’s the time you wasted for your rose that makes your rose so important”
