MOSTYK, visual artist and photographer, fuses her training as a professional ballet dancer with her background as a renowned make-up artist to shape a singular artistic approach. Author of best-selling books (400,000 copies), she then decided to immerse herself in visual creation, setting up her studio in Bordeaux. This winner of the 1st Canon 2023 Award, from among 10,000 candidates, is recognized for her talent and commitment to authentic images.
