Cuello Studio

🎨 Last month I had the chance to see the John Singer Sargent exhibition at the Met in New York, and I’m still thinking about it... Standing in front of his portraits, I was blown away by the brushwork, the control of values, and the way he captures light—it feels alive in a way that photos just can’t convey.

Moments like this remind me why I love visual storytelling in all its forms. ✨

🖋️ Early visions for Creatures at Espace GO 🖋️

Sharing some initial set and scenography sketches for Creatures, produced by L’Eau du Bain. These drawings were the first step in shaping the world of the production—exploring mood, space, and movement before anything came to life on stage.

Seeing these sketches evolve into a physical, immersive environment is one of my favorite parts of the creative process.

✨ Immersive light and history at Pointe-à-Callière Museum ✨

In 2023, I had the opportunity, as Production Assistant for Lightfactor, to help reinstall the exhibition lighting after smoke damaged the existing setup.

While I didn’t design the lighting, I assisted with the installation process—carefully bringing the exhibition back to life and ensuring each artifact and space was once again beautifully illuminated.

It was inspiring to contribute to the restoration of this iconic Montreal museum and to see the exhibition shine again.

Quoi de plus cinématique que Montréal en temps orageux ? ☁️

Des témoins d’aujourd’hui : l’air est chaud, chargé d’humidité, il pleut. Des détours dans les petites ruelles à la recherches d’ambiances et de secrets inexplicables. J’en reviens les doigts qui picotent et la tête embrumée.

Je vous invite à rester pour écouter. Ce sont les musiques du monde. 🙂‍↕️
