I created MINIMAN because I needed a short, strong name that is easy to remember for my Master thesis where I created an alter-ego identity construction of a rapper – since my Master thesis was about identity construction. I created the name MINIMAN in one hour. It came very quickly in a creative intuition and inspiration session. After the feedback was so positive and the music project was so successful I kept the name and used it for all my art as an alter-ego.

My name is Lara Micheli, I am a Swiss photographer born in Geneva. Having studied Art History and spending seven years in Paris, now I’m based in the Basque Country, South West France.

My pleasure. I've been drawing for as long as I can remember. first it was an art school, then an institute, an academy ...but the understanding that I am ready to devote my life to art came to me when I was about twenty years old, in St. Petersburg I met the artist Vasily Bratanjuk, he made me understand that art is not only inspiration but also hard work ... work of selv development.
