• “Woman is my favorite subject. A free and multiple woman: active, seductive, graceful, connected. Contemporary."

• Hedwige looks at the world around her and reveals our habits and attitudes in her sculpture. Hedwige's work is remarkable, singular and highly contemplative ... On the one hand there is the feminine and sensual part (the woman), on the other hand the urban and modern sphere (e.g. the smartphone).  The phone make us imagine new scenarios, in a story to be discovered. Communication takes place primarily through emotions and moods rather than being didactic and rational.

• The women of Hedwige Leroux immediately catch the eye with their elegance. Long, thin, and slender, they strike apose, sure of their charm and seduction. Serene, they seem detached from the instabilities of the world and its illegiblerevolutions. The eternal woman, emerging from a dreamlike world and imposing her delicate presence; all of Hedwige'ssensitivity is revealed in these seemingly fragile models.

• But Hedwige's women are also contemporary, rooted in today's world and appropriating its codes and customs. Themobile phone, for example, an essential instrument for professional life, romantic exchanges, and self-celebration, is anod to this consented addiction, a mirror of today.

• Hedwige's work also comes in busts with patiently elaborated hair that is suddenly blown away by a gust of wind. In thesecrecy of her workshop, she never ceases to shape the material, the earth, to recreate what her gaze has perceived,what her mind has conceived, and that her fingers will achieve in her recognizable style, the mark of a true artist. A cleanand personal style that highlights the beauty and personality of women in today's world.

• In all of Hedwige's works the question arises whether the poetic image of the aspects and phases of the lives of women, you or us, in this world today... It is our inner treasure and the artist represents it with great grace and poetry. As for the trees, whose inner concentric circles testify to their time spent on this planet, each person carries layers of emotions, experiences, the smartphone we use every day, all of which become a part of us, building whom we are now in the real and the digital worlds, along the constant and unceasing flow of life. The smartphone thus represents a kind of emotional baggage, which is enriched every day with thoughts, feelings and actions.

• Hedwige Leroux refined and personal style wants to highlight the beauty and personality of women in today's world. The artist looks at the world around her and reveals our habits and attitudes in her sculpture.
