The story behind the artist with no canvas

Oh, beloved admirers,

Let's explore the colorful realm of Boyarde Messenger, the artist who seamlessly merges art and fashion with captivating style. With her trusty brushes in hand, she's traveled from prestigious Bedales School to renowned Wimbledon School of Art, ultimately earning her BA (Hons) from Bournemouth Arts Institute.

Boyarde's journey into creativity commenced with an insatiable curiosity for the female form and the mesmerizing power of the gaze – what some might call "Scopophilia." This fascination has been a constant thread throughout her ever-evolving career, from empowering women through body art to adorning luxury fashion accessories with her unmistakable Pop style.

You see, Boyarde has always been drawn to the unconventional, the unexpected. Who would have thought that hand-painting onto shoes for Art Basel would lead her to the world of high fashion? But there she was, brushing strokes onto the first-ever hand-painted Hermes Birkin, igniting the Fashion/Art movement and birthing her very own art brand – Boyarde Art House.

Now, as the creative director of Boyarde Art House, Boyarde has assembled a team of artisans dedicated to crafting wearable art that transcends mere fashion. From motorbikes to paper bags, there's no canvas too unconventional, no challenge too daunting for her artistic vision.

And let's not forget her solo endeavors. Her latest collection, "Most Wanted," delves into the paradoxes of consumerism and branding, teasing out the irony with every stroke of her brush. It's about celebrating the allure of luxury while questioning its true value – all with a sprinkle of wit and charm.

Boyarde's work has graced galleries worldwide, from the Saatchi Gallery in London to the vibrant streets of Miami Wynwood. And the accolades? They've poured in from esteemed publications like Vogue and the Financial Times, each recognizing the unique blend of creativity and craftsmanship that defines Boyarde Art House.
