Born in 1961, in the small town of Saint-Tropez, where her father had built an architecture agency, at that time flourishing where private homes were built as buns are made, it brings together a mix of social classes and of very varied origins.

On the paternal side, it is the Russian aristocracy who fled the revolution on the maternal side, his Polish grandfather left his family in Gdansk to settle in 1910 in the City of Artists “The Hive” that he never left. If her whole family has always been turned to the visual arts, painting or architecture, she has distinguished herself from the clan at first by choosing writing and literature. But it follows a very chaotic course, and his obstinacy leads to different dead ends. Piscator asserts that he had only seen life through the “burning mirror of literature” but that the war had produced a reversal in him: from now on, he wanted to see literature and the art as a whole ” through the burning mirror of life “. On a more modest scale, she attempts through her digital montage paintings to express her feeling of the world, and to show a way of thinking.
