Passage (devant) Scènes de la vie ordinaire... (2010) Installation by Marie-Claire Touya

Marie-Claire Touya, a versatile artist born in 1955, has been working in the creative world for many years. Her artistic journey began with the purchase of her first loom in 1978, a defining moment in her life. This loom opens the doors to artistic expression and marks the beginning of his adventure in the field of creation.

First, she explored weaving, creating mohair scarves and tapestries. However, Marie-Claire does not limit herself to the use of thread alone. She quickly incorporated other materials, such as paper, leather, herbs, and many others, into her mixed media creations. This diverse approach adds a new and surprising dimension to his work, giving rise to works of great visual and textural richness.

Over the years, she turned to terracotta, exploring new artistic possibilities while leaving behind the constraints of transporting bulky works. This evolution testifies to his perpetual search for renewal and his desire to push the limits of his creativity.

Marie-Claire Touya is also passionate about collage and the sphere, where she expresses her artistic universe with deep sensitivity. Pigments occupy a special place in his work, with their captivating tones which enrich his creations.

His art reflects his constant quest for balance and harmony. She finds her inspiration in life itself, in the nature that surrounds her, and in the diversity of materials that she manipulates with talent. Based in Montreal De L'Aude, France, Marie-Claire Touya continues to create, explore and share her artistic vision with the world.
