Pola 4.0 is a self-taught contemporary artist based in Lille.
Initially trained in the world of fashion, she developed a rigorous sense of form and a heightened sensitivity to material, light, and structure, foundations that now underpin her visual language.

Her pseudonym refers to the Polaroid format of her childhood, a symbol of memory and instantaneity, while preserving a deliberately cultivated sense of mystery.
Following a profound personal turning point, creation became a space of transmutation for the artist, where fragility transforms into strength and light becomes a language in its own right.

Pola 4.0’s work explores an emotional labyrinth at the intersection of power and vulnerability, control and surrender.
Rather than imposing a narrative, she opens a sensitive field in which the image becomes a site of resonance and awareness.

The female figure occupies a central place in her practice.
Freed from the codes of traditional representation, woman appears as a sovereign, conscious, and liberated presence.
Through her series Inner Queens and The Untamed, Pola 4.0 celebrates a plural vision of femininity shaped by contained strength, silent power, and embodied spirituality.

In The Untamed, figures drawn from visual culture such as Jean-Michel Basquiat, Frida Kahlo, Kate Moss, or Iggy Pop are transmuted into archetypes.
They are not celebrated for their image, but for the freedom they embody through their way of being.
Their difference, audacity, and resilience become manifestos of liberation, affirming that otherness is not a flaw but a form of grace.

Within Pola 4.0’s work, pastiche takes the form of an interpretative and symbolic act of transmutation.
Her figures, whether drawn from popular imagery or anonymous faces, are never reproduced but reinvented.
They become archetypes, symbols of resilience, self-assertion, and inner freedom.
The original image, whether iconic or ordinary, dissolves into a new visual matter, oscillating between homage, metamorphosis, and critical gaze.
Through this process, Pola 4.0 questions the persistence of myth, the value of difference, and the construction of perception, while proposing a sensitive and conscious reappropriation of the female image.

Her deeply hybrid practice combines digital collage, syringe-applied painting, and mixed media techniques on aluminum, plexiglass, or wood.
Between gesture and digital process, inheritance and invention, her work bridges two temporalities of making, the hand and the tool, within a tension where matter itself seems to breathe.

Pola 4.0 embodies a contemporary vision of art, navigating between tradition and digital modernity.
Her universe explores new aesthetics, where a reimagined Neo-Baroque sensibility dialogues with the industrial precision of aluminum and the mechanical poetry of light.
Grounded in the belief that art must be an immersive experience, her approach offers works that challenge habitual perception and invite a shift in the gaze.

In Pola 4.0’s work, matter becomes language.
Light becomes an act of consciousness.
