Mathilde Jonquière, mosaic artist, March 2021, mosaic fresco, 6m x 1,60m, Méduses & Oiseaux, Paris. Mathilde Jonquière creates a mosaic fresco of 6 meters high and 1.60 meters wide for a private residence in Paris near the jardin du Luxembourg.

Mathilde Jonquière, mosaic artist, March 2021, mosaic fresco, 6m x 1,60m, Méduses & Oiseaux, Paris. Mindful of the marine world and of Jean Lurçat’s tapestries, the client submitted the idea of jellyfish and Mathilde Jonquière of birds flying out of their garden. A fluidity arises from these two unlikely worlds, the parasols of the jellyfish in pearly tesserae inflate and deflate transparent and light. © photo Olivier Saillant

This first crystallized circle composed of strata gently takes the customer to the second galaxy and the staircase leading to the second floor where appears at their junction a new sprawling grid of opalescent white marble all in motion. This second circle at the back of the boutique is set with a carpet creating a more intimate space from which gravitate, once again, thousands of marble tesserae like precious stones in the same golden yellow gradation. © photo Olivier Saillant

Mathilde Jonquière, mosaic artist, June 2019, Triptyque Céleste. This triptych was imagined to adorn the center of the home, close to the hearth of the fireplace, spot of light. Placed on the wall of a space between the private sphere and the welcome space, it illustrates the idea of gravitation, of center, trajectories and gathering. Dimensions of each panel : 2 m. x 1 m.
Mathilde Jonquière, mosaic artist, June 2019, Triptyque Céleste. This mosaic with its tight and slender style, between muted and bright colors, captures a family energy and thrills with its contrasts.

Mathilde Jonquière, mosaic artist, july 2019, Effloraison fresco, Jacques Semer store, Paris. This new mosaic takes birth in the floral landskape sharing by Jacques Semer and Mathilde Jonquière that chooses the essence of the buttercup for its delicacy, elegance and its shades of soft pink.
Mathilde Jonquière, mosaic artist, july 2019, Effloraison fresco, Jacques Semer store, Paris. The mosaic is carefully composed line by line by 24-carat threads like an embroidery, a topstitching effect symbolizing the different layers of the flower effloraison.
Mathilde Jonquière, mosaic artist, july 2019, Effloraison fresco, Jacques Semer store, Paris. This fresco, created like a Japanese woodblock landscape by the subtle overlay of scales, suggests a moving deep nature, revealing the floral world of Jacques Semer.

From the entrance, the eyes get into beautiful organic shades of two marble pieces in pink, beige and cream white colors, then meet the fresco and its tale, as a true call for dreaming.

FULIGULE Work in Progress, April 2019. For this new project, Mathilde Jonquière got her inspiration from the living world and realized a wall mosaic design on the Fuligule duck. This drawing represents the maternal wings of the Fuligule female duck, suggesting the idea of a cocoon, of a fluffy caress and at least, of the children beeing garded in a safe space.
FULIGULE Work in Progress, April 2019. Every tessel is like an idea, a thought that is arising, first disorderly, and then organizing themselves following the drawing, between light and shadow.
Mathilde Jonquière, mosaic artist, April 2019, FULIGULE project. Here, the pattern of the wing appears in flows and interlaces. The material, the colour and the cinetic disposition draw a strong vitality in the shading. The movements of the wings remind of the child creativity and of its intellectual abilities emerging.
Mathilde Jonquière has chosen the jellyfish to dress the floor of a villa. Mathilde Jonquière uses the animal motif more and more in her work to put in her aesthetical research the energy of the living and its movement. The jellyfish, with its filament nebula close to the cosmic, imposes itself in this unique place which is close to the lake, between the sky and the water.
The choice of the marble to represent this fluidity goes with Mathilde Jonquière’s approach to transcend the material, to divert it : the persistent nature of the marble, rigid and hard, becomes suddently alive and dress up with light, starting to wave and declining the different colors of the sunrise.
Between dynamism and abandon, curves, lignes and fluidity, empties and full, the tentacles of the jellyfish unfold with grace in the space of the villa entrance and bring harmony and serenity in the welcoming area of this exceptional house.

This chromatic polyphony of aquatic and mineral tones (Antigua, Cipollino, Laguna and Ming) inspired Mathilde Jonquière a mosaic suffused with fluctuations, ideal for displaying shadings expressing sheer fluidity.
The piece echoes with the modulations and convolutions of the mosaic, and includes the tiny structure of the tessera, revealing in all its details the emotions of a 1000 color-pattern.
