Leslie Daisy Ibarrola-Ibero

French ceramic artist, Leslie Daisy creates sculptures inspired by volcanic landscapes, eroded stone, lush vegetation, and the natural forces that slowly transform matter.

Her universe is aligned with an approach close to Wabi-Sabi: an aesthetic that celebrates imperfection, the traces of time, and the beauty of transformations.

After an initial career in artistic makeup and special effects, interrupted by the discovery of a genetic disease affecting her joints, she discovered clay three years ago. This living material quickly became her new artistic language.

Each sculpture is entirely handmade. Leslie works with sandstone, earthenware, and other materials such as resin or stabilized plants to create works where textures, light, and matter dialogue.

All her sculptures belong to the Cycle of the Amazons.

These female figures do not represent ideal heroines, but silent presences that advance, resist, and transform. They bear the traces of their history as the rock preserves those of time.

Some works, particularly luminous ones, reveal another facet of twilight. Light then becomes a material in itself, giving birth to an intimate and enveloping presence that transforms the perception of the sculpture.

Through them, Leslie wishes to offer moments of contemplation and to remind that strength and fragility can coexist, and that a flaw can sometimes become the starting point of a metamorphosis.

Today, her work is aimed at collectors, architects, hotels, and places where art dialogues with nature and architecture.
