Description
Created for the "Reminiscences" exhibition at the Château de Lunéville*, this striking sculptural ensemble comprises seven ceramic female figurines, each crafted with unique details and a captivating pose. Inspired by the life of Élisabeth-Charlotte d'Orléans, the work offers a contemporary perspective on the female condition through a figure who has become multifaceted: woman of lace, woman of the frame, woman of the tableware, woman of the garden, woman of correspondence, and woman of makeup. These are all evocations of the art of living and the salons of conversation that she brought to life at her court in the 18th century.
The skillfully sculpted busts reveal a variety of extravagant hairstyles and symbolic accessories, blending horns, floral motifs, and delicate ornaments. Nuanced colors and complex textures enrich the composition with a charm that is both historical and poetic. The stylized clothing suggests the elegance of the Enlightenment while also hinting at more intimate facets: the bare silhouette recalls the woman behind the rank, a princess of royal blood married out of duty, a betrayed wife, and a loving mother of fourteen children, only four of whom survived.
Each figure subtly expresses an emotion, a role, or a contradiction, reinforced by refined gestures and delicate expressions. Blending humor, social satire, and intimate sensitivity, this work pays homage to the complexity of the female experience. Through her technical mastery of ceramics and the rich symbolism of its forms, the artist composes a fascinating, fragmented, contemporary perspective.
7 figurines modeled from the mass, engobed earthenware, partial glaze.

Presentation
Trained as an architect, graphic designer, iconographer, and illustrator, I now devote myself to ceramic sculpture*.
Inspired by human and artistic encounters, and by travel, I continue the tradition of sculpting. Portraits, characters, scenes, and chronicles inhabit my world.
In search of a unique, personal, meaningful and sensitive narrative, I observe man in his relationship to the world, to his environment under influences, to Art, in order to offer a contemporary polychrome, poetic, sometimes enigmatic vision.
The earth is the providential tactile territory that allows me to produce from little to move towards the essential: to find a freedom of representation and emotions, a language of volume and light, of meaning and signs, of narratives and imaginaries.
However, ceramic sculpture is a demanding craft. I seek a symbiotic relationship with the material in the creation of the form, right up to its transformation by fire. The delicate process of applying color and glaze fosters the same connection, throughout the firings until the nuances are revealed.
I am currently working with a type of earthenware clay which allows me to fire my pieces at low temperatures, thus preserving all the freshness and brightness of the color in a contemporary matte finish.
My workshop is located in Reims, in Champagne.
Born in a land of chalk and cathedrals, I discovered clay at almost forty; I then began entering sculpture competitions and pursuing further training. Ten years later, I launched my professional career. In 2022, I had the honor of having a booth at the "Révélations" exhibition at the Grand Palais in Paris. In 2023, the Perrotin Gallery purchased a portrait of Sophie Calle from me. A multiple recipient of the Luxembourg Art Prize, I am also a member of Ateliers d'Art de France.
