What We Make is a podcast about artistry, resilience, and the deeper stories behind image-making. Hosted by Angele Alberti, founder of L’Atelier, a creative consultancy supporting artists and brands in the fashion and advertising industries, the show offers an intimate space to reflect on the many paths that creativity can take.
In each episode, Angele sits down with some of today’s most inspiring image-makers from photographers, stylists, art directors to makeup artists and designers to explore not just what they create, but why and how they do it.
We look beyond the final image to uncover what keeps them inspired, how they navigate the ever-evolving creative landscape, and what it really means to build a life around art. These are stories of process, perseverance, and the moments that shape a creative practice.
Whether you're an artist yourself or simply curious about the minds behind the visuals that move us, What We Make invites you into honest, thoughtful conversations about the journey behind the work.

In this episode, I speak with painter Chechu Álava, whose portraits of women feel both ethereal and quietly radical. Originally from Asturias in northern Spain and now based in Paris, Chechu’s work reimagines historical and literary figures, reclaiming women who’ve long been seen as muses or marginal characters, and offering them presence, agency, and light. We talk about where this fascination began, how she creates the gauzy, dreamlike atmosphere in her paintings, and what it means to paint from intuition rather than strategy. This is a conversation about her journey and the invisible threads that connect women across time.
