ABOUT
Marie-Paule DEVILLE CHABROLLE is a French painter and sculptor born in Morocco in 1952. Her approach is a personal adventure.
Each encounter, each country crossed, each image seen, each emotion experienced contributes to her creation. Sculptures and sanguines form a whole, a global approach.
She studied for two years at the Faculty of Plastic Arts in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, and then spent two years at the School of Fine Arts in Pau.
The ochres and golds of Morocco, the obvious beauty of Khmer sculptures where a world of balance and silence emerges, everything has left its mark.
It is through the density of memory that one must still seek out this strong desire for a time that is retained rather than suspended. Today she explores new landscapes populated by characters from a legend that is entirely her own.
She has been distinguished by the Accademia Internationale “Greci Marino” in Italy. In 2000 she was chosen to create the Marianne de l’An 2000 under the features of Laetitia Casta. In 2005, Marie-Paule DEVILLE CHABROLLE collaborates with the brand DAUM, transforming her bronze works into crystal sculptures.
Daum Glass
Pâte de Verre is a rare and ancient glassmaking technique, which dates back to 5000 bc (pieces have been found in the tombs of pharaohs).in 1900 Daum rediscovered this technique that had been long forgotten, then further developed it in 1968.
The process of melting glass coupled with the lost wax technique that Daum has developed, ensures a perfect reproduction of the original piece just as the artist had imagined it. today, Daum is the only glass maker in the world able to produce this exceptional material so perfectly. Pâte de Verre is a mutable substance, which has translated every whim of the imagination of the master glassmakers for over a century, in this way, no two pieces are identical, because the fragments of groisil blend and merge at will as the glass melts.
This mastery and constant research have resulted in world renowned masterpieces.
