Description

In , Fabienne Decornet sculpts light itself.
Suspended within a fine metal framework, fragments of colored glass float like memories in motion — liquid thoughts, shimmering echoes of time. Each delicate shard catches and bends natural light, projecting a living script across the walls and floor.

The work evokes the eternal cycle of water — its fluidity, transparency, and transformative power. Yet beyond its theme lies a profound metaphor for life: a web of fragile connections, a balance between tension and freedom. Deep blues, translucent greens, and flashes of amber and red converse like voices in a silent choir.

Here, glass does not imprison; it breathes, it moves, it speaks with light and the viewer’s gaze.
is an invitation to contemplation — a visual poem where matter and spirit merge in suspended harmony.

A multitude of invisible, intangible energies surround us in our daily lives.

How can we bring out and translate what lies behind the scenes, behind the mirror? It is to answer these questions that Fabienne Decornet has explored themes in constant motion: Light, line, shimmer, serenity, lightness, fluidity in a transparent and vibratory space.

To achieve this, the Lille-based artist weaves connections to bring together glass, fabric, and paper, which she considers complementary. The highly experienced artist emphasizes the importance of not losing the thread. It's a matter of stability, construction, and precise elaboration, she says.

For some years now, she has been following her thread and weaving her interpretation of the world and its realities into mobile installations that evoke the textile weave. According to her, yesterday's thread is the foundation to continue tracing the path. She presents an airy, graphic, and powerful work in colors.

Poetry and elegance are her watchwords. Her works are the result of the enthusiasm and overflowing energy she possesses.

Presentation

Visual artist from the North of France, Fabienne Decornet has developed her fame with her glass and textile creations. A graduate of the School of Visual Arts in Brussels, she then trained with glass artisans. Curious, open and enterprising, she has expanded her field of creation to interior design and architecture. A true scholar of space and light, Fabienne creates unique suspended installations. Between glass, textile and paper, she shapes, weaves and connects the elements by giving them an identity, an obvious place within her creation.

Thanks to his mixtures of materials synonymous with coexistence and complementarity, our eye is led to roam his works in search of balance, silence or density.
