Dans la mythologie grecque, Andromède (en grec ancien Ἀνδρομέδα / Androméda) est une princesse éthiopienne. Fille du roi Céphée, elle est victime de l'orgueil de sa mère Cassiopée. Exposée nue sur un rocher pour y être dévorée par un monstre marin, elle est sauvée de justesse par Persée dont elle deviendra l'épouse.
L'étymologie de son nom est « celle qui a la bravoure dans son esprit », de ἀνήρ / anếr, ἀνδρός / andrós, « homme » (et par dérivation ἀνδρεία / andreía, « bravoure »), combiné avec μήδομαι / mếdomai, « penser, avoir l'esprit plein de ». Il pourrait aussi signifier « celle qui dirige les hommes
Après sa mort, Andromède est placée par Athéna parmi les constellations, dans l'hémisphère nord du ciel, près de Persée et de Cassiopée.

Edwige Col is a French "Singul'artist" born in the center-west of Hexagon. She lives in France and is well known for her very singular art, which is not part of any known trend. His passion for colors and the underground aura and skateboarding pop culture goes back to his teenage days. His inspiration comes from the lifestyle that accompanies. She has always expressed the freedom to live, the spontaneous expression and even a kind of rebellion. It is in her life, returning from a trip to the American continent that she is more and more involved in the game of pop art and street art. She is inspired by Andy Wahrol and Jean Michel Basquiat and always of the Californian youth who spend his days in the sun surfing, skateboarding in bikini and dancing on punk music in the evening. It is in the cultural mixing and countercultures that it draws its inspiration. Always in search of the most fundamental freedom, she explores in each of its limits the limits between the visible and the invisible. It slides from one to the other as the urban slider does on the concrete. She shares her values of daring, but also of playfulness in each of her works. His genesis is his own art, which always surprises us even where not to assist him.
The work of Edwige Col is visible on his site and in Europe, he was the subject of solo exhibition at the gallery LEOG which is sedentary and itinerant. It is published in many journals and is present in many collectors.
