“Do you not have within you an immense world? Then be its cry.” This phrase has accompanied me always. I shape figures as one writes poems: slowly, patiently, day after day. My work is figurative, rooted in emotion and feeling. I like forms to emerge from within, without sketches or an armature, respecting the grain and texture of the clay, fired at high temperature. After a life devoted to art therapy, sculpture became my profession, my silent cry, my way of speaking of the world. Shaping life is my mantra.

Pause on the Steps (Stoneware)

By Marie-Hélène

A one-of-a-kind stoneware piece, “Pause on the Steps” depicts a seated woman, modeled from a live model with a deliberately raw finish — like a sketch transformed into volume. The wash of oxides and porcelain slip brings delicate tones (off-white, touches of yellow ochre) and a rich texture that catches the light. Intended for indoor display, this statuette has an intimate, narrative presence, ideal for a collector or for adding a signed artwork to an interior. Delivered with a certificate of authenticity and carefully prepared for shipping. Colors / finish: off-white, touches of yellow ochre and white (oxide wash + porcelain in second firing). Dimensions: 22 × 8.5 × 14.5 cm. Display: To be placed on a surface (indoor use only).

Sculpture

three capuchin birds on wood (Stoneware)

By Marie-Hélène

Unique stoneware piece featuring three finely modeled and painted birds set on a fragment of branch. The decoration, applied with a brush using oxide washes and slip, punctuated with touches of glaze, creates a range of ochre, russet, white, and sepia tones — a warm, lively palette. Each hand-modeled bird retains the qualities of a sculptural object: delicate detail, depth of modeling, and a striking contrast between the mineral material and the warmth of the wood. Signed piece delivered with a certificate of authenticity; carefully prepared and packaged for shipping from the studio. Material: Stoneware; birds mounted on a dry wood fragment Dimensions: 13 × 27 × 30 cm. Display: For indoor tabletop use
