THE ARTIST
​
MDAUTEUIL is a French Canadian who has lived in France for a few years and has now settled in Finland,

Since 2006. she associate different elements: bones, glass, soot, snake moults, blood, metals, stones, insects, dried flowers...in short, all natural materials are an inspiration.

Her pregnancies impacted on her art: cartesian lines faded and gave way to curves and movement. Her trades as a former jeweler and glassblower combined with studies in psychology have influenced the materials used and their disposal.​
​

​ARTISTIC APPROACH


Having lived her childhood in the North-Canadian woods, the artistic work of MDAUTEUIL is strongly imbued with an ecological awareness.

​Remarkably meticulous, her fascinating compositions uniquely combine creation and memory. Each memory is a singular moment in a story: a wedding bouquet, a jewel of a loved one or the bones of a pet offer new feelings in the hands of the artist.

Over time, MDAUTEUIL gleans and collects different materials full of meanings: precious metals, pieces of blown glass, jewelry and even organic materials gathering leaves, mushrooms and fish skins.
