Sophie BLANC is a French master gilder, restorer and creator.
The artist handles gold leaf with palpable emotion. To express her deep admiration for the plant world, Sophie Blanc transforms fragile plants into precious icons of exceptional finesse and lightness. Sublimating the ephemeral invites us to take a fresh look at nature, revealing its discreet beauty and encouraging us to slow down. Her creations awaken our childhood memories, like her own spent in the heart of the Auvergne countryside.
This poetic stroll around the tree, a figure that is both protective and vulnerable, reveals worlds in limbo. Through sculptures crafted from plant elements and gold leaf, Sophie Blanc explores the fragility of life and questions the future of our forests, groves, and gardens.
Her work, rooted in attentive listening to nature and its metamorphoses, questions the impermanence and transcendence of the plant world. Each work becomes a trace of an intimate dialogue with nature, a space for silence and contemplation.
An invitation to slow down, to listen to the whisper of life.
