A graduate in fashion design and fine arts, Virginie Clavereau quickly blurs the line between artist and craftsman, mixing in her work different textile techniques of embroidery and weaving with her ceramic and painting work.

She works in her studio in Paris in the 19th, both a refuge and a bay open to the world, she experiments by observing the jumble of the city and life and transforms it into organized disorder. A meeting point between the real and the marvelous, a bric-a-brac where everything makes sense, his work is a space of interpretation that is half reassuring, half worrying.

“My work engages in a dialogue between the raw power of archaic Greek art and the refined ideals of the classical era. In Greece, I find a tension between these two worlds—between rough-hewn, almost totemic forms and the pursuit of perfect harmony. The islands, with their eroded marbles, fractured statues, and sun-scorched reliefs, become an open-air archive where these forces coexist. My practice draws from this friction, reinterpreting ancient gestures to reveal their resonance in contemporary expression.”
