Artist

Biographical information/Professional background

To Marie-Madeleine Vitrolles, it all started with “Terracotta” material: rough or soft, malleable and sensual.

From art class to glazing or raku trainings, she learned to tame « Terracotta » over time while asserting its presence.

Gradually, she approached the world of ceramics and the woman chosen to translate oscillating between feelings of vulnerability, fear of breaking a fragile balance, impotence, and strength; were born so long and proud female figures, the burned bodies, like flayed, but who keep to the bottom of them a hope.

Today, the artist combines her modeling work to that of the composition to emphasize her favorite themes: solitude or expectation, sharing and complicity.

Made of sandstone grog (thicker dotted with small grains), covered with slip (porcelain with oxides) and enamelled, Marie-Madeleine’s ceramic women have been exhibited since 2002 in numerous festivals, galleries and salons in France and exclusively at the French Arts Factory in Paris since September 2015.
