about this ceramic sculpture
Ariane Crovisier’s Nüwa ceramic sculpture embodies fluid transformation through form, texture, and emotional depth. Handmade in clay, the work reflects her intuitive approach to sculpture, where material becomes a vessel for movement and feeling. The surface is shaped through layered hand-building techniques, allowing the form to evolve organically rather than mechanically.
The sculpture’s maroon-brown glaze enhances its sense of depth and intimacy, evoking warmth, earthiness, and emotional gravity. Two intertwined forms emerge in a quiet embrace, creating a powerful dialogue between unity, tension, and connection.
The composition feels both grounded and fluid, as the figures merge and separate within a continuous sculptural rhythm. Subtle surface variations highlight the physical and emotional interdependence between the forms, suggesting themes of creation, protection, and shared existence.
Fired and finished through Crovisier’s sensitive material approach, the piece embodies a balance between raw material presence and refined expression. It stands as a poetic reflection on duality, connection, and the silent strength found in togetherness.
about the artist
Ariane Crovisier is a contemporary French sculptor (b. 1983), known for expressive, emotionally charged works that explore form, void, and human presence. With a foundation in sculpture, modeling, and stone carving, she developed a deeply intuitive practice centered on hand-built ceramic and sculptural processes.
Her work draws inspiration from natural rhythms, philosophical inquiry, and psychological depth. Influenced in part by her background in psychology, Crovisier explores emotional states through abstracted and anthropomorphic forms. She works across ceramic, stone, and bronze, often combining matte and glazed surfaces to create dynamic interactions with light.
Crovisier’s sculptures are designed to be experienced from multiple viewpoints, encouraging spatial awareness and contemplation. Her practice bridges tactile materiality with conceptual reflection, positioning her work between body, emotion, and landscape.
Her works have been exhibited internationally, including at the Affordable Art Fair in Stockholm and Exogallery in Germany, alongside various contemporary art fairs and gallery presentations. Her sculptures are held in private collections across Europe and internationally, reflecting her growing recognition within contemporary sculpture.
