Trained as an architect, my career began in the world of architecture and then in communications. In 2022, I felt a deep need to refocus and return to gesture and a more intimate form of expression. Today, I work with clay as a sensitive material, capable of creating links: between gesture and form, between the object and the person using it. I like to see in each object a bridge between aesthetics and craftsmanship, a history and a certain art of living. My practice is rooted in a search for balance between simplicitý and delicacy. I like to create uncluttered pieces, balancing between the raw and the refined, with soft shapes and calm hues. I like the idea of my pieces finding their place in an interior by bringing an atmosphere - a diffuse softness, a silent presence, a more contemplative rhythm.
The hand is present, but discreet: a drawn line, a shaped detail, a light motif imprinted in the still-tender clay, like a punctuation mark, conveying a quiet timelessness. I love clay for its frankness - its material, its density, its memory. My aim is to create pieces that are both functional and evocative. They carry with them the idea of attentive, almost ritualistic use. I want them to accompany slowed-down moments, like a return to oneself. A gentle way of inhabiting the world.
The Centre de céramique Bonsecours (CCB) is proud to present the collections of its 2025 graduates of the DEC Techniques métiers d'art - Céramique specialization.
In addition to offering the college program in collaboration with Cégep du Vieux Montréal, the CCB's mission is to promote research and creation in contemporary ceramics. Its gallery offers a diversified annual program of exhibitions, lectures and special events.
