Michèle Bygodt

Michele, a French-Gabonese multimedia artist, has lived in Gabon, The Netherlands, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Togo, Paris, and is currently based in Vancouver, BC. She studied Graphic Design Communications in Paris and later earned a BFA in Photography at Emily Carr University.

As a multidisciplinary artist, Michele's work is deeply influenced by her exploration of the concept of "reality" and how it shifts based on individual perception. She embraces fluidity and change, believing that life is not a linear experience but a complexity of multiple ones that constantly evolve, shaping ideas and influences. Michele rejects the notion of adhering to "one style" for a lifetime; instead, her art adapts and transforms, much like water—versatile, dynamic, and reflective of the ever-changing nature of existence.
