The work presented, with its captivating aesthetic and motifs reminiscent of the ocean, seems to embody the quintessence of ocean femininity, a celebration of nature and the intrinsic power of the aquatic element linked to the feminine essence.
The curved, flowing shapes of the sculpture evoke ocean waves, suggesting the incessant movement and quiet strength of the sea. These waves can symbolize the different facets of femininity: softness and adaptability, depth emotional, and indomitable power. The ocean, with its vastness and mystery, reflects the complexity and richness of the female experience, while highlighting the deep connection between women and the natural cycles of life.
The blue color, dominant in the work, reinforces this association with the aquatic element, recalling the sea and the sky, spaces of freedom, exploration and reverie. Blue is often associated with serenity, depth and infinity, qualities that resonate with the vision of femininity as a source of inspiration, renewal and creative force.
The sculptural elements that rise skyward can be interpreted as a tribute to the ability of femininity to transcend challenges, to rise above circumstances, while remaining deeply rooted in the vital essence of the Earth . This upward ascension also symbolizes the quest for growth, knowledge and spiritual fulfillment, fundamental aspects of the human experience.
The interaction between solid forms and open spaces in the work invites reflection on the very nature of femininity: a force that is not only present in what is visible and tangible, but also in voids, absences, and silences, where intuition, healing and transformation reside.
In sum, this work is a poetic celebration of oceanic femininity, representing both the beauty and complexity of the aquatic element and feminine nature. She invites us to recognize and honor the depth, strength and capacity for renewal that characterize both the sea and the feminine essence, recalling their essential role in the cycle of life and in the interconnected web of existence .

Presentation
"In this 360-degree turn, I reinvent myself in sculpture: it's a revelation . The earth soothes me, allows me to escape: I enter my bubble… With the passage to the earth, I put in form what I used to draw. Paradoxically my work as a sculptor is very influenced by the vision of the woman of colorist painters, such as Matisse and Gauguin , by the structuring of the bodies of Modigliani and those of Picasso and more surprisingly by the work of forms and colors of a Kandisnky."
My installation in 2018 on the Basque-Landes coast and the proximity to the ocean is a constant source of inspiration. To create, I draw on all the female representations and bodily attitudes that I find in my daily life, on the beaches or elsewhere, but also on the forms that I observe in nature. Then I let my imagination run wild.
“Much more than the simple representation of bodies, I tend to express heightened emotions. I go through the body envelope to bring out the intimate, the personal. What we want or cannot say. I works on the attitudes and emotions of women that I highlight by an opposition of curves and lines.In my creations, the effects of matter are essential to highlight the volumes.
The voids and the full are an integral part of my sculptures. One does not exist without the other. They complement each other, dialogue and intermingle to make room for an original creation. I model the material and sculpt the void, like so many destinations to reveal the emotions and the intimate.
Each piece is unique. My role as a designer is to help you find your own story. My sculptures are discovered with the eyes and appreciated with the fingertips. It is the beginning of the meeting between our perception and our deepest senses."
