Born in the south of France, Mylène became an actress. She mainly appeared in Asian and French movies. She studied in the FEMIS (the National School of Image and Sound Professions) in the scenario department, where she discovered the power of writing. She considers drawing as a form of writing, but also like the best extension to her work and her life. Drawing is for Mylène Jampanoï a means of protecting herself from the outside world, without forgetting it but by putting on the paper her emotions, her feelings about contemporary events.

As a child, drawing was her mechanism to get into her own bubble and to go against her shyness.

Upon reaching adulthood, drawing presented itself to her again, but as a vital need, a means of expression in its own right. Drawing has some nobility, a mystery, and represents for Mylène Jampanoï a very personal and complex manner of speaking about herself.

In 2020 she moved to Athens.

Greek culture, modern and antique, is a considerable source of inspiration for her.

The delicate shades of blue, green, and even white that has an entire place in her work, summon both the Greek sweetness of life, as well as an emotion and a particular melancholy, that invite us to escape into a world as chimerical as concrete.
