My guest this week is Swedish artist Ebba Palmstierna, also known as Ebba Pax.

His album “Vienna: Joyful Apocalypse” was released this year, and Classica Magazine called it ”brilliant, agile and refined, (his) playing exalts the poetry of the pieces with fragile charm.”Did you know that professional pianists can tell where other pianists are from, just by listening to them play?

When my friend told me she wanted to get a tattoo of Henry James on her arm, I'll admit I was skeptical, but this week's guest, Phu Phi Nguyen, did a spectacular job. Phu Phi doesn't usually tattoo portraits at all, saving them for her paintings and murals. Her usual tattoo style is incredibly fine-lined, detailed, and beautiful. True works of art, often reserved for flowers and plants. Now co-owner of her own Parisian tattoo shop, Monkeys Factory, Phu Phi also specializes in “therapeutic tattoos” for breast cancer survivors with mastectomy scars, burn victims, and other survivors.What is it that draws Phu Phi to fine-line tattooing and bold, graphic murals?

Have you ever wondered if telepathy is real? Does magic exist? Can the future be predicted? Can a complete stranger read your mind? My guest this week is mentalist, coach, and actor Fabrice Ferra, who has been performing in stage shows all over the world, astounding audiences with his mind-reading abilities. In the lead up to his new show, “Mentalism à la Parisienne,” which opens in English in Paris on March 30th, I sit down with Fabrice to discover where his abilities come from, if some minds are more “readable” than others, and whether you need to be as charming as Omar Sy in Lupin to be a successful mentalist.For tickets to his show, click here: https://ferrafabrice.com/https://www.instagram.com/fabriceferra/https://www.facebook.com/fabrice.ferra Join us on Patreon: patreon.com/parisundergroundradioFind Us OnlineWebsite: https://parisundergroundradio.com/cityofmusesFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/parisundergroundradioInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/parisundergroundradio/ CreditsHost and Producer: Jennifer Geraghty. https://parisundergroundradio.com/jenniferfoxgeraghty @jennyphoria; Website: http://jennyphoria.comMusic CreditsBeyond Inspiration juqboxmusic License: 1F36635C-8CE84C39-98B2531B-FEAA8727 About UsWho will be the world's next Salvador Dali, Thierry Mugler, or Josephine Baker, launching a new wave of the avant-garde?

For the Season Three premiere of City of Muses, I am thrilled to introduce you to Jase King, a multidisciplinary artist from Australia, living in the City of Light. Jase is a talented painter, sculptor, and photographer, but its his avant-garde face masks, or face sculptures, that I was immediately obsessed with.

This week, my guest is Victor Schegin, a native Parisian whose first foray into the art world was as a 15-year-old street artist. As a painter, Victor explores vulnerability through his portraiture, often blending emotive, introspective models with bright, bold colors and abstract elements. Victor is generous with his time and talent, offering tips and tricks to his followers online. He is also an art teacher and has created a Facebook group of artists helping and supporting other artists numbering over 120,000. In our conversation, Victor shares how he fell in love with painting and what it took to finally get him to pursue it full-time. He tackles some of the biggest ideas in the art world today: where is the line between street art and vandalism, what does it take to be great, and how does that corrolate to a career where you've “made it.” https://www.instagram.com/seehundart/?hl=enhttps://seehundart.com/ https://twitter.com/seehundart Join us on Patreon: patreon.com/parisundergroundradio Find Us OnlineWebsite: https://parisundergroundradio.com/cityofmusesFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/parisundergroundradioInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/parisundergroundradio/ CreditsHost and Producer: Jennifer Geraghty. https://parisundergroundradio.com/jenniferfoxgeraghty @jennyphoria; Website: http://jennyphoria.comMusic CreditsBeyond Inspiration juqboxmusic License: 1F36635C-8CE84C39-98B2531B-FEAA8727 About UsWho will be the world's next Salvador Dali, Thierry Mugler, or Josephine Baker, launching a new wave of the avant-garde?

My guest this week is Agnès Sevestre, a Master Craftsman in Fine Crafts Engraving and the Founder of A.S. Bronze d'art. Agnés is one of only around 150 people in all of France qualified in this highly-specialized art form. She works with metals like brass, copper and bronze to apply ornamentation techniques to jewelry, furniture, light fixtures, silverware and more. Those beautiful handmade butterflies you find crafted around an ornate perfume bottle? That's the kind of work she does. Agnès's most recent project, Archipels, breaks her free from the tiny, detailed work she's used to as she creates the largest pieces she's ever made. In our conversation, Agnès shares how she discovered metal crafting, engraving and chiseling, what it felt like to fall in love with them, and the personal nature behind her work. https://www.agnessevestre.com/https://www.instagram.com/agnes_sevestre/https://www.facebook.com/as.bronzedarthttps://www.linkedin.com/in/agnes-sevestre/?originalSubdomain=fr https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCD1_dl2TLhw-NNQnsfZM4-wJoin us on Patreon: patreon.com/parisundergroundradio Find Us OnlineWebsite: https://parisundergroundradio.com/cityofmusesFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/parisundergroundradioInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/parisundergroundradio/ CreditsHost and Producer: Jennifer Geraghty. https://parisundergroundradio.com/jenniferfoxgeraghty @jennyphoria; Website: http://jennyphoria.comMusic CreditsBeyond Inspiration juqboxmusic License: 1F36635C-8CE84C39-98B2531B-FEAA8727 About UsWho will be the world's next Salvador Dali, Thierry Mugler, or Josephine Baker, launching a new wave of the avant-garde?

This week, my guest is hand weaver and textile designer Mathieu Le Traon. Mathieu discovered hand weaving only a few years ago, but he quickly fell in love with it, and decided to quit his prestigious career to pursue his artistry full-time. Mathieu's work is extraordinary, not only because it's beautiful, which it unequivocably is, but because he uses it as a means of storytelling, embedding codes, music, language and literature into his work. Each piece is one-of-a-kind, hand woven from the animal fibers that he loves, which add another important, thoughtful element to his work. Mathieu's work is as creative as his mind, extending from scarves to vests to wall art, furniture, eyeglasses, and beyond. https://atelierletraon.comhttps://www.instagram.com/atelier.le.traon/Join us on Patreon: patreon.com/parisundergroundradio Find Us OnlineWebsite: https://parisundergroundradio.com/cityofmusesFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/parisundergroundradioInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/parisundergroundradio/ CreditsHost and Producer: Jennifer Geraghty. https://parisundergroundradio.com/jenniferfoxgeraghty@jennyphoria; Website: http://jennyphoria.comMusic CreditsBeyond Inspiration juqboxmusic License: 1F36635C-8CE84C39-98B2531B-FEAA8727 About UsWho will be the world's next Salvador Dali, Thierry Mugler, or Josephine Baker, launching a new wave of the avant-garde?

This week, I had the pleasure of speaking with Melanie Furtado. Melanie is a Canadian sculptor and art educator who won this year's prestigious Médaille Bronze at the Salon des Artistes Français. She first grabbed my attention with her fantastic “Women: States of Being” series, in which she showcases naked women of diverse ages, races, and body types in states of quiet contemplation. She creates her sculptures by adding pieces, little by little, one at a time, leaving the textures of these pieces of clay and her fingerprints as part of the final piece of art. While the focus may start on the body, its the depth of emotion she captures in the faces that really draws you in.In our conversation, Melanie shares what draws her to scultpure and the human form, which body part is her favorite to sculpt, how the best things about Paris are also the worst, and so much more.https://www.melaniefurtado.comhttps://www.instagram.com/melanie.furtado/Join us on Patreon: patreon.com/parisundergroundradio Find Us OnlineWebsite: https://parisundergroundradio.com/cityofmusesFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/parisundergroundradioInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/parisundergroundradio/ CreditsHost and Producer: Jennifer Geraghty. https://parisundergroundradio.com/jenniferfoxgeraghty @jennyphoria; Website: http://jennyphoria.comMusic CreditsBeyond Inspirationjuqboxmusic License: 1F36635C-8CE84C39-98B2531B-FEAA8727 About UsWho will be the world's next Salvador Dali, Thierry Mugler, or Josephine Baker, launching a new wave of the avant-garde?

In the Season Finale for Season One of City of Muses, I'm joined by Sunny Buick. Sunny fell in love with tattoo artistry when she was 15 years old. In fact, that's what brought her to Paris 20 years ago. Sunny's style is bright, vibrant, daring, creative and feminist, and has grown to include drawing, painting, sculpture and performance art. In our conversation, Sunny shares the meaning behind Lowbrow Art, how her own art has evolved, what images most inspire her, and why she finds tattoos so romantic.https://www.sunnybuick.comhttps://www.instagram.com/sunny_buick/?hl=enhttps://www.facebook.com/sunnybuickartist/https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC56lJ-tLaIq3-YlbsK4uVwQhttps://twitter.com/buicksunny?lang=en Join us on Patreon: patreon.com/parisundergroundradio Find Us OnlineWebsite: https://parisundergroundradio.com/cityofmusesFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/parisundergroundradioInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/parisundergroundradio/ CreditsHost and Producer: Jennifer Geraghty. https://parisundergroundradio.com/jenniferfoxgeraghty @jennyphoria; Website: http://jennyphoria.comMusic CreditsNo Copyright Music by OlexandrMusic Download Free Music: http://bit.ly/3ikZxuF Soundcloud: https://bit.ly/3u4ehyg YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/olexandrmusic Official: https://www.olexandrignatov.com About UsWho will be the world's next Salvador Dali, Thierry Mugler, or Josephine Baker, launching a new wave of the avant-garde?

Julia Palombe is a renowned dancer, singer, author, and performance artist. She began her career as a dancer, but it wasn't until she also became a singer that her message became clear: love, desire and sexuality are crucial forms of freedom.

Orlando Louis calls himself an entertainer but, as a talented singer, dancer, model and actor, I'm just not sure that word is big enough. Orlando originated the roles of Scar and Mufasa in Paris's Broadway version of The Lion King,” roles he still currently performs in Disneyland Paris. He created "The Brown Sugar Show," celebrating African-American music worldwide, as well as the soul funk musical "Blax: The Musical." Orlando has performed all over the world, including in Jean Paul Gaultier's Haute Couture tribute to Amy Winehouse, and with Hans Zimmer and Others. He has a new album on the way, titled "Black Narcissus,” and when I first met him, he was also performing drag all over Paris. https://www.instagram.com/orlandolouis_official_/ Whatever It Is U Got: https://youtu.be/bPQMmzEQCus http://itunes.apple.com/album/id1668662629?ls=1&app=itunes https://youtu.be/sZmpkESfEEo Etta James - (You Can) Leave Your Hat On: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CSmdT1Si4bo Join us on Patreon: patreon.com/parisundergroundradio Find Us OnlineWebsite: https://parisundergroundradio.com/cityofmusesFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/parisundergroundradioInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/parisundergroundradio/ CreditsHost and Producer: Jennifer Geraghty. https://parisundergroundradio.com/jenniferfoxgeraghty @jennyphoria; Website: http://jennyphoria.comMusic CreditsNo Copyright Music by OlexandrMusic Download Free Music: http://bit.ly/3ikZxuF Soundcloud: https://bit.ly/3u4ehyg YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/olexandrmusic Official: https://www.olexandrignatov.com About UsWho will be the world's next Salvador Dali, Thierry Mugler, or Josephine Baker, launching a new wave of the avant-garde?
