Gilles Papain - Portfolio

Gilles began his artistic career when he entered the Conservatoire Supérieur de Musique and immersed himself in in-depth studies of music theory and singing. This initial step, anchored in the classical framework, laid the foundations for his career in show business, which has developed successfully over the years.

Parallel to his musical studies, Gilles began his career

as an assistant director before becoming stage manager at the Marseilles Opera, where he acquired a rich and varied expertise over the course of more than a decade.

This experience enabled him to develop an in-depth understanding of the many trades involved in the performing arts and the many facets of "the stage".

In 2000, a new opportunity presented itself when he was recruited by Les Ballets de Monte-Carlo as artistic stage manager.

It was in Monaco that he took his first steps in the field of video projection, a skill that was soon to become his specialty.

His talent led him to a series of diversified projects, propelling Gilles to an international career as a video designer and artistic director.

His hybrid creativity led him to explore varied terrain, oscillating between classical stages, musicals, television and museography.

Gilles loves the harmonious combination of "traditional tools", augmented reality and generative artificial intelligence in his artistic work.

This approach enables him to explore new artistic dimensions…

Gilles a commencé son parcours artistique en intégrant le conservatoire supérieur de musique pour se plonger dans des études approfondies de solfège et de chant. Cette étape initiale, ancrée dans le cadre classique, a jeté les bases de sa carrière dans le monde du spectacle qui s'est développée avec succès au fil des années.

En parallèle de ces études musicales, Gilles a débuté sa carrière en tant qu'assistant-metteur avant de devenir régisseur de l'opéra de Marseille, où il a acquis une expertise riche et variée au cours de plus d'une décennie.

Cette expérience lui a permis de développer une compréhension approfondie des nombreux métiers du spectacle et des multiples facettes de "la scène".

En 2000, une nouvelle opportunité s'est présentée à lui lorsqu'il a été recruté par les ballets de Monte-Carlo en tant que régisseur artistique.

C'est à Monaco qu'il a fait ses premiers pas dans le domaine de la projection vidéo, une compétence qui allait rapidement devenir sa spécialité.

Son talent l’a conduit à une série de projets diversifiés, propulsant Gilles vers une carrière internationale en tant que concepteur vidéo et directeur artistique.

Sa créativité hybride l'a conduit à explorer des terrains variés, oscillant entre les scènes classiques, la comédie musicale, la télévision et la muséographie.

Gilles affectionne la combinaison harmonieuse entre les "outils traditionnels », la réalité augmentée et l'intelligence artificielle générative dans son travail artistique.

Cette approche lui permet d'explorer de nouvelles dimensions artistiques…
