VIRMONT Gaëlle, Ceramics, guest artist, Jardins invisibles

My sculptures, which I conceive as objects of reverie and contemplation, are created in collaboration with fire, which shapes abstract and poetic paintings in the depths of the clay. 
This ephemeral element continues its life in each work. As it materializes, fire is frozen forever in the depths of my pieces. In the blaze, guided like a painter, it sketches the imprints of its flames and fossilizes the elements that gave birth to it and fueled it, creating abstract paintings that are open to free and infinite interpretation. 
My smooth, refined, timeless forms are a call to gentleness, caress, simplicity, and calm. I want each of my works to provoke a contemplative, imaginary, and meditative journey. 
CONTEMPLATING FIRE, traveling into the depths of smoky lands, is what I offer through each of my pieces.
