Lives and works in Paris.

For many years now, Mathilde Jonquière revolutionises the art of mosaic. Bypassing academism and classical codes, she ennobles her creations thanks to a savant treatment of color and texture, expressing unconventionally the aesthetic value of mat and shiny, fade and colorful, empty and full. Inventive, her enchantress mosaics infuse poetry in this conglemerate of materials. Her work goes beyond the usual destinations of decorating and embellishing to reach towards a vaster territory and explore the unexplored.
