Atelier de Sculpture "Florence Jarrige"

I sculpt stone in all its diversity - granite, marble, alabaster, Burgundy limestone - always seeking the essential: a presence, a line, a momentum.

Each piece is unique. Nothing is reproduced, nothing is repeated: I let the material impose its rhythm, its strength, its fragility, and I compose with it as with a partner.

Verticality is at the heart of my research. I love this form that tears itself away from the mass, that rises up despite its weight, that soars towards the light. In my sculptures, the figure often appears elongated, almost vibrating, like a breath passing through the stone from within.

For me, sculpting is a physical and spiritual experience. The sound of grain, the heat of dust, the resistance of limestone or the fragile transparency of alabaster: all these things link my body to the material, and the material to the world.

In this silent exchange, a dialogue is formed - one of attention, balance and emergence.

I create one-off works as well as bespoke pieces for private spaces, gardens, architecture or public places. Always in harmony with the site, always in search of essential simplicity.

My sculptures don't seek to represent: they seek to belong. To a place, to a look, to a moment. To that part of us that stands up and, despite everything, rises.
