Through the natural and malleable medium of clay, I merge art and nature, forging a connection between the two. Within this realm, I draw my inspiration, exploring themes of femininity, spatial philosophy, and the interconnectedness between humanity and nature. Delving into the depths of these concepts, I aim to challenge conventional notions of vessels and space, giving rise to art that is not only expressive, sensual, and emotive but also resonates with the intricate topography of the world around us.

At the heart of my artistic exploration lies the human body, with its organic sensations serving as a captivating focal point. The tactile qualities of clay fascinate me, as they enable me to evoke a sense of touch and establish a profound connection with each piece, infusing them with subtle symbolism.

Nature serves as an unwavering muse, infusing my sculptures with evocative textures and intricate patterns. Drawing inspiration from my upbringing in the French Alps and my close proximity to the ocean, the profound influence of these environments permeates my creative process. Within my work, narrative
intertwines, beckoning viewers to immerse themselves in the embedded stories and underlying themes. Beyond the realm of biomorphic forms, my sculptures serve as canvases for crafting intricate surface designs that reflect the dynamic topography found in nature's networks such as the rhythmic undulations of
waves, the intricate patterns shaped by erosion, or the meaningful embellishments that adorn our surroundings. Through these meticulous surface designs, I delve into the interplay between human-made constructs and the organic realm. These narratives serve as metaphors, illuminating our interconnectedness and prompting us to safeguard the delicate equilibrium we must uphold with our environment.

In addition to my artistic practice, my studies of Feng Shui during my thirties has deepened my understanding and appreciation for the psychology of space and its profound impact on our perceptions. I strive to create vessels that invite nature indoors, blurring the boundaries between indoor and outdoor environments. Through my vessels and installations, I invite nature to intertwine with interior spaces, creating a harmonious fusion that challenges the conventional separation between the two.

Furthermore, I find inspiration in the resilience and power of women. By incorporating references to the female form in my sculptures, I aim to celebrate their strength, and inherent power while also challenging societal structures by empowering them through the spatial narratives conveyed in my three-dimensional art.

Ultimately, my goal is to craft a sensorial experience for viewers, inviting them to engage with my art on a deeply personal level. I wish individuals to explore the forms, textures, and patterns, allowing the art to evoke emotions and forge connections. It is through this intimate interaction that my work finds its purpose, as I endeavor to bring art and nature together in a harmonious dialogue, encouraging contemplation and appreciation of our surroundings. My artistic journey is a continuous exploration of the human experience, an invitation to pause, feel, reflect, and connect. Through the medium of clay, I strive to create sculptures that bridge the realms of art and emotion, transcending barriers and inviting viewers to embrace the beauty and inherent power that resides within themselves and the world around them.
