Welcome to my artistic universe
I’m Ludivine, a passionate and committed artist. I give a second life to recycled CDs and vinyl records, transforming them into unique hand‑painted artworks.
Upcycled art on CDs and vinyl records
Each piece begins with a recovered disc from thrift shops, recycling centers or generous donations.
After careful cleaning, I hand‑paint it using a layered acrylic drop technique, creating organic, textured and vibrant patterns.
An eco‑responsible and poetic approach
My work is rooted in upcycling: transforming what already exists, elevating forgotten objects, and turning reuse into a creative gesture.
Inspired by nature
I draw inspiration from natural cycles, botanical forms and the subtle rhythms of the living world.
Every artwork carries a story, a pulse, an energy.

CD
🎨 Upcycled CD Artworks : The Metamorphosis of Digital Media
Discover my collection of unique contemporary pieces created on recycled CDs and DVDs. Here, the disc no longer stores data; it holds emotions.
In my studio in Jouy-en-Josas, France, I prepare each medium with deep, opaque backgrounds. This deliberate choice breaks away from the industrial look of the CD to make way for vibrant colors and precise craftsmanship.
🌀 The Mandala as a Symbol of Unity (Sanskrit)
Inspired by the Sanskrit word Mandala (meaning "circle"), I use the perfect circularity of the disc to create artistic microcosms. Whether through feminine portraits, animal totems, or ancestral signs (Lakota, Chinese, Africa, ...), each work is a window into the imagination.
✨ Unique Relief Technique
Dot Painting my artistic upcycling practice is based on the meticulous layering of fine acrylic paint droplets. This relief work creates a tactile and visual texture that plays with ambient light—not through metallic reflections, but through the depth of contrasts.
Each painted CD is a one-of-a-kind masterpiece :
- 100% French Craftsmanship: Hand-painted, numbered, and varnished for durability.
- Eco-responsible commitment: Giving a second life to obsolete materials.
- Contemporary Aesthetic: Wall art that fits perfectly into modern or bohemian interiors.
🖼️ Art for a Conscious Interior
Choosing an upcycled CD artwork is more than just a wall decoration: it is bringing a committed piece into your home, where contemporary art becomes sustainable. These atypical creations are designed for lovers of authentic French craftsmanship and collectors sensitive to the soul of objects. By integrating these fragments of recycled culture into your space, you support an artistic vision that places environmental respect at the heart of creation.

33 rpm VINYL
The Musical Icon Transformed into a Work of Art
Give a second life to the ultimate cult object
My 33 RPM vinyl records are no longer just carriers of sound memories; they have become full-fledged surfaces for artistic expression. Each disc is carefully selected and prepared in my studio in Jouy-en-Josas, where I transform its grooves into a space of vibrant creation.
The Magic of the Circle
Between Nostalgia and Modernity Inspired by the spirit of the Mandala (Sanskrit for "circle"), I use the vinyl’s perfect circular form to weave visual narratives. Whether through soulful portraits of women, animal totems, or ancestral signs (Lakota, Chinese, African), the generous 33 RPM format allows for total immersion in detail and symbolism.
A Hypnotic Relief Technique
Moving beyond flat painting, I use dot painting to create a tactile texture. By working on deep, opaque backgrounds, I make every dot of color stand out like a star in a circular galaxy. The vinyl is no longer a forgotten object; it is a window into the imagination.
Choosing a Painted Vinyl means
- Elevating a historical object : Transforming vintage media into a contemporary masterpiece.
- Supporting French Fine Craft : 100% handmade, numbered, and protected by a durable varnish.
- Engaged Decoration : Adopting artistic upcycling for meaningful decor.
- Guaranteed Uniqueness : Each piece is an original creation, designed for collectors and lovers of atypical art.

VINYL 45 rpm
Upcycled Art and Miniature Symbolic Paintings
The Musical Miniature Transformed into a Work of Art.
The 45 RPM vinyl is reborn here as a small wall painting steeped in history. Once a medium for your favorite songs, it is now a canvas where musical memory meets artistic precision. In my studio, I transform these small formats into windows open to the imagination.
Harmony in a Circle
A Pocket Mandala Inspired by the etymology of the Mandala (Sanskrit for "circle"), I use the 45 RPM’s round shape to create balanced compositions. This compact format is perfect for my animal totems, ancestral signs (Lakota, Chinese, African), or botanical patterns. Each disc is prepared with deep, opaque backgrounds to make the colors vibrate and give new depth to the material.
Gesture and Texture
The Relief of Dot Painting Each piece is entirely hand-painted using the dot painting technique. This work of raised dots creates a unique texture that captures the light. The vinyl is no longer an object of the past; it becomes a contemporary, eco-friendly, and sustainable decorative piece.
Why choose a painted 45 RPM vinyl?
- A Poetic Gift : Ideal for offering a unique, handmade piece with deep meaning.
- Versatile Decor : Light and easy to hang, it fits anywhere, whether as a single piece or in a gallery wall.
- Support for French Craftsmanship : Every work is signed, numbered, and varnished for durability.
- The Essence of Uniqueness : No reproductions—you own a fragment of a universe that belongs only to you.

Artistic Archives
Gallery of Sold Upcycled Creations
A journey through past creations
Every artwork that leaves my studio carries a piece of history with it. This archive gallery bears witness to the connection between my brushes and your favorite pieces. It features the CDs and vinyls that have found their homes, illustrating the diversity of my work over time.
A legacy of symbols and colors
Here, you will find examples of soulful portraits, animal totems, and vibrant mandalas that are no longer available. This is a space for inspiration where the circularity of the medium (inspired by Sanskrit) and the precision of dot painting are revealed in all their forms. These past pieces reflect my constant artistic evolution.
Exclusivity at the heart of my craft
Since each disc is hand-painted and numbered, a sold piece will never be reproduced identically. This page is proof of the authenticity of my work: owning a Ludivine-D creation means holding a fragment of a universe that is one of a kind.
