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. 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 the child creativity and 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.

Hennesy asks Mathilde Jonquière for a mosaïc floor creation of green marble for the Winter Garden of the Castle of Bagnolet in Cognac.
For this project, Mathilde Jonquière designed a floor made of marble mosaic. The wave pattern shows various greens, trigerring a dialog with the surrounding nature and the river running nearby.

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.

La Grande Epicerie de Paris is now rue de Passy on the Rive droite. On this occasion, Le Bon Marché entrusted Mathilde Jonquière with the creation of four 20m2 figurative mosaics that bring out the elegance of the products and the savoir-faire. The Chocolaterie : stoneware ; enamalled stoneware ; enamelled metallic glass paste.
The Chocolaterie – a thin copper trim sets the chocolate tablette, revealing by its shimmering the multiple facets reflecting the light of this “Tablettothèque”.

The Bakery – the color of the glass enamels composing the lemon tart tend towards a neon yellow coming out of the dark background made of mat black stoneware for a clean and modern contrast.
