Violetta (2019) Sculpture by Catherine Jouve

After training as an architect and fifteen years in an architectural firm, I wanted to reconnect with my first teenage passion, "Painting". I missed the color work too much! Living in Provence, the sun, the sea and therefore the color contrasts will always inspire me. A few years later during an internship, I discovered modeling on earth, then by trying my hand on various sculpting materials, I realized that I can also play with color and shapes in 3D! This is how for 10 years, graceful bathers with rounded shapes have been born on my sketches before taking postures and colors in different materials, papier mâché, resin plaster, polyester plaster, concrete and even wood. Roundness, grace and femininity remain inseparable for me ... Whatever the subject, my work revolves around curves and counter-curves, always looking for harmony in exaggeration ... So 3 passions have accompanied me in my life, and only one common thread: Creation
