Biography
Pauline Ohrel lives and works in Paris. She studied Law in Paris and London and worked as a lawyer for eleven years, in parallel to her artistic activity. In 2002, she decided to dedicate herself entirely to her art.
Pauline Ohrel has been obsessed with the observation and reflection upon others. She is driven to sculpt, transfigure and dignify every material she works with. Her characters follow the strength of her emotions and feelings in vertical and metaphysical movement, fed by pure energy. She is the sculptress of sensitivity. Sculpture is for her "an adventure renewed daily, a source of sensual emotions, aesthetic and intellectual".
If the elegant silhouettes and expressive forms of Pauline Ohrel are not all explicitly figurative, they still find their strength in emotions, feelings and human postures fed by pure energy. Pauline Ohrel's work is modern, but doesn't sacrifice anything for the sake of modernity and it is more interested in the heart than in the brain.
