Statement;
As an art therapist, my creative journey led me to encounter the art of sculpting, viewed through the transformative lens of care, as I engaged with individuals facing profound emotional challenges. In this artistic exploration, I found myself drawn to the realm of abstract forms, seeking to unravel the essence of expression through the sculpting of hard materials like steatite, limestone, and cellular concrete. In each chisel and carve, I delved into the intricate depths of the human psyche, seeking to give shape to emotions that transcend the tangible, resonating with the intangible essence of the human soul.

Ariane Crovisier, an acclaimed contemporary French sculptor, delves into the realms of emptiness and fullness, exploring the three-dimensional world and the tactile connection with the living surface of the earth. Her art embraces the influence of Chinese tradition, where she finds inspiration in the interplay of voids and substance.

In her quest for ethereal beauty and perpetual motion, Crovisier molds, shapes, and dances with her materials, creating monochromatic or elegantly colored associations. Infusing emotions into her works, she transforms and elongates them, imbuing them with ever-changing hues and forms.

Her sculptures invite interaction, designed to be transposable and viewable from various angles, allowing viewers to engage with them actively, experiencing a dance of new dimensions. Born in 1983 in France, Ariane Crovisier continues to leave an indelible mark on the contemporary art scene with her captivating and dynamic creations.
