JOURNEY
A self-taught artist, Adeline began her practice in her hometown in France in 2006 when she decided to leave her legal career to become a professional mosaicist. She learns by working in the field with Canadian, Italian and French mosaic masters. She is now based in Montreal, Quebec.
Mosaic art is part of the reinvention of nature by assembling stone fragments to convey an emotion that accompanies it throughout the creative process. Life is a mosaic of events, colors, feelings, and mosaic art is shaped through the elements that surround us in life, all materials can be reused and given a second wind in a mosaic. Adeline uses a lot of recycled materials in her works, be it sculptures, murals or furniture. She lets herself be guided by contact with matter, the touch of raw materials such as stone or iridescent glass, new or used enamelled ceramics. His inspiration is most often guided by the exploration of textures, and light plays a big role in his creative process. Channeling emotion; transcend the spontaneity of the feeling towards the work, without altering it, in the precision of the gesture of the size of the stone.
In addition, since 2014, it has given itself the mission of promoting the visual arts to a wide audience, by offering mosaic art workshops to students in schools, by creating murals with the participation of citizens in the alleys green, by opening a mosaic art school for children in Haiti. The medium's ability in art therapy also leads her to young people with mental deficiency and autism spectrum disorder. This is to stimulate everyone's creative potential, to encourage openness to oneself, the inner self, as much as to openness to others, and to offer another means of expression.
