Tiptoe by Cel Castella 

The studio asked illustrator Cel Castellá to represent her vision of Paris. Paris in its winter light. The city where Tiptoe was born and which inspires the artist every day.

Cel Castellá is an Argentinian artist who has lived in Paris for seven years and now works in illustration, embroidery and painting. What inspires her isn’t the monuments, but everyday life.

“I love observing how people inhabit the city, how they walk... Paris lives in those little details you don’t see on postcards. And even though the city often feels like a film, what I love most is when the glamour cracks a little: the guy running after the bus, the dog barking from a window. It’s this mix of chaos and charm that inspires me every day.”

For this collaboration, Cel captures the small details of everyday life, those moments that make room for reality: imperfect moments where charm and chaos intertwine and bring to life a Paris full of surprises.
