Christine Guillemin sculpts nature in raw, mineral materials that she learned to tame in the 1990s. She spends long periods studying and innovating. Each piece is the result of in-depth research, conducted with both rigor and intuition. Instinctive, she pays vibrant homage to the animal and plant world in compositions with pure lines and perfect balance. Butterflies, which embody harmony and fragility, have become a major source of inspiration for her sculptures and rare furniture editions. Here, the artist presents a series symbolizing renewal and personal growth.
With Voltige, the sculptor gives herself the freedom to play with bronze and brass, chiseling directly into the metal. New constraints for sculpting nature. Her butterflies, sculptural like samurai or remarkably light in their accumulations, depict the cycle of life. An ode to existence, to the possibilities for transformation and evolution it offers.

Christine Guillemin lives and works in Paris.
