After studying Graphic Arts and Art History at art school, I worked as an art director in advertising for several years. The birth of my children required a different pace of life. I then developed a range of decorative pieces before discovering porcelain a little over seven years ago. Self-taught, I gradually learned through successes and failures to work with this material, which I never tire of… I set up a space at home, bought my first kiln, and began working with slip-cast porcelain, then with sheet clay.
Immersed in a search for balance between realism and imperfection, my deliberate choice of porcelain as a preferred material allows the medium to partially decide the outcome on its own.
Indeed, this capricious material reacts to firing temperatures, producing reduction, deformation, and changes in its original color—alterations that contribute to a sense of blossoming, much like a plant growing and evolving.
In my work, I aim to convey the delicate invasion of vegetation, capturing the moment when a single leaf gives rise to exuberant flowers that cover everything.
Similarly, I cover forms with hundreds of porcelain petals and flowers, which sometimes crack or detach. Like imperfect nature, these imperfections and tears are intentional and embraced—even anticipated.
My goal is to find a lasting representation of vital balance, as fragile as a breath…
Just as plants grow and bloom in a fresh, singular act—even though it is always repeated—my pieces take shape according to the same rhythm. From a regular and delicate gesture emerges a unique form, whose variations are all odes to vegetal proliferation, my main source of inspiration.
