Willène Pilate is an antispeciesist*, feminist and visual artist.
She draws portraits of animal people.
Her years of anti-speciesist activism have taught her to see animals as people in their own right, and she likes to represent the soul and uniqueness of each one.
Using multiple techniques, she creates these faces and silhouettes with all the beauty and sensitivity she can transmit. Through her work, Willène Pilate hopes to change our view of animals.
Willène Pilate was born in Sarcelles in 1981.
She studied cinema, while maintaining a close connection with art.
Today, her artistic practice is built on ink drawing, acrylic painting and collage. She also likes to use materials such as gold and copper.
At the same time, she continues to campaign for animals. Her commitment has allowed her to meet many other activists, to participate in many animal rights events, and to begin broader reflections on feminism, ecology and anti-racism, as well as on all progressive struggles.
She speaks at events and workshops on the links between feminism and animal rights, or on her activist commitment.
Her wish for the years to come is to defend animals through her artistic work.
* Antispeciesism is based on the idea that the species to which an animal belongs is not a relevant criterion for deciding how it should be treated, nor the moral consideration that should be given to it.
This notion rejects the hierarchy between animal species and, in particular, the superiority of human beings over other animals.
