I am a french sculptor. My art concentrates on the urban area, on the Art in the City. I would like to propose sculptures for places where people live, to bring happiness, poetry, and color. I collaborate in designing and creating in public and private spaces (housing, schools, shopping center, tourism resorts, public parks, etc...)

Mission entrusted : design, production, ins-
tallation Department of Education
Winning project in the context of obligatory
1% decoration
The installation is a project conceived for the
schoolchildren,
This deliberate familiarity transforms the
entrance hall of the school into a space that is
no longer a dramatic separation but a welco-
ming space for encounter and renewal.
The project is adapted to the architecture, the
narrow space, the high ceiling.
The colours of the sculptures correspond to the
colour chart of the building.

Three figures of human scale lie on the
lawn with the upper parts of their bodies
buried underground. They are equidistant
from each other
The lower parts of their T-shirts are made
of lawn ,thus a continuation of the terrain,
the terrain a continuation of the body.
The installation thus proposes two inter-
pretations:
The earth whence we come or where we
go
Ah les Beaux jours !

15. Lives in Paris
Works in Aubervilliers
Graduate of the National School of Decorative
Arts of Paris
BIO
A sculptor nurtured by the eclectism of the School
of Decorative Arts in Paris, Taïne’s insparation lies
in anecdotes drawn from her everyday life.
Her work is a scenography of émotions, sentiments,
a fixing of memories, an illustration of ordinary life.
Memories of dispersed moments, objects and mate-
rials, are ordered in structured but living composi-
tions.
Sculptures, materials, decorative techniques, are all
associated in a gay and whimsical presentation to
narrate, with impassioned intonations, an incessant
chattering, a story that must release emotion.
In parallel with a continuing personal quest, I colla-
borate in the equiping of public and private spaces.
My objective : to illustrate through creativity and hu-
mour the function of the sites, to facilitate their ap-
propriation by the people who frequent them, while
maintaining a great respect for the architecture.
The realisation must participate in the everyday life
around and not remain lifeless and unchanging.
Inscribed in the site, it must be in harmony with it, a
representative element.
Respecting the constraints and objectives of each
project, I take charge of the whole project of visual
animation, or intervenes with sculptures or décors in
collaboration with the project manager and owner
About Sculptures
The sculptures are carved in polyurethane foam
then stratified: fiberglass, polyester resin
Their clothes are real clothes stratified.
The final colour is obtained by successive layers of
dyed resin
A final coat of acrylic paint.
The materials used allow for lightweight volumes
(facilitating installation), longlasting,
respecting the norms of security (fire class M1),
resistant to impact, resistant to climat.
