Histoire d’une œuvre – Résurgences

Story of an Artwork - Résurgences

My sensitivity and love for Nature are the guiding threads of my artistic practice. If the beauty of Trees – natural artworks par excellence – touches me deeply, it is the whole of the Living world that fascinates me with its incredible diversity: diversity of forms, textures, presences. A richness that reflects its beauty, its vital force, and its resilience. Such profusion that at times, reality seems to blend with imagination.

There is a multifaceted energy in Nature – sometimes patient and silent, sometimes lively and abundant – that reminds us that Life can emerge where we least expected it. And that it always resurfaces.

Art allows us to travel through this diversity, uniting worlds that differ, to create a dialogue between the visible and the invisible , the tangible and the dreamed. Ceramic art – by offering a third dimension to expression – gives substance to this journey. Working with clay, through modelling and sculpture, opens infinite possibilities: the forms that arise beneath my hands are the fruit of a dance between the mineral and the organic , on the border between the real, which I observe with ever-renewed curiosity, and the imaginary, into which I love to venture.

Resurgences - Sculpture céramique inspirée par la nature, de forme libre avec creux arborescences et filaments, différentes teintes beige et gris.

Resurgences is the very incarnation of this dance. It was born of my imagination nourished by impressions gathered during wanderings in forests, by lakesides, in the ocean. Its shape is entirely free. Its base – neither spherical nor cylindrical – breaks away from classical geometries. Its textures and appendages – branches, corals, or algae? – leave room for the unexpected. Its shimmering surface blends whites, greys, and intermediate shades, echoing shadow and light, of seasons crossing paths. From every hollow, diverse structures emerge, evoking multiple worlds. Sylvan and marine life forms meet, share their habitat, and converse in a universal language.

Resurgences is the voice of Nature, reminding us that Life always resurfaces, even where it once seemed extinct - and that its strength lies in its diversity.
