Solenne Jolivet is an embroiderer. While mastering authentic savoir-faire and the traditional techniques of embroidery, she is constantly pushing the boundaries of her discipline. Solenne aims to develop a non-figurative embroidery, where the thread is the only creator of the effects generated. Nothing is shining. Nothing is decoration. Everything is an evocation of an engraving or a painting, a hint of pastel or watercolour. Solenne draws her inspiration from nature and its colour palette. Discovering new landscapes allows her to sharpen her perception of textures and shades. In parallel to handcrafting her own creations, Solenne continues to work on assignment for fashion houses and embroidery ateliers.
