About this artwork
This 500 million-year-old serpentinite is offered to us in a unique place very close to the banks of the Loire and some sparkling marshes that are a natural reserve. Initially a Peridotite, it comes from the center of Earth and made this long journey to reach us, transformed into Serpentinite.
Only 3 artworks are made from this Serpentinite, each piece of stone I found inspiring me a Venus-like form which is an absolute allegory of Nature.
Both… young and as coming from the origin of time, it enriches your space with a deep connection to Nature and timeless Presence.
The number of sculptures is limited in order to honor this stone while respecting its specificity.

« Exploring the abilities of meeting materials and cultures. »
Itinerant sculptor absorbed by the East where she regularly lives and works since 1996. Is important to her the moment of the passage between continents and cultures, dynamic "Pont Euxin" of the human kind. It is indeed the moment of encounter with people or with the eloquent materials of the world that is creative.
"Listening to the melodies of the Earth, and apart from big size sculptures, I find locally, cut and polish marble and fine stones, in a concern not to participate (too much) in the exploitation of humans and materials. And because this "method" allows me to find the chosen pieces of stone that resonate with the preconceived bronzes. They are stories of itineraries made to meet".
From the bio-sourced stones and precious stones, she keeps colorful pigments that enter into her watercolors drawings.
Thus her sculptures are part of private collections or are in public places in France, Italy, Germany, Japan, Syria, India, Ireland, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Egypt.
