After working as a costume designer for 13 years, Valérie Lebrun left for a professional reintegration project where she was in charge of public mosaic commissions. Aiming to create gigantic human sculptures out of ceramics and mosaics, she did a diploma at the Institut de Céramique de Sèvres. But Valérie never made these sculptures. “When I arrived in Sèvres, I unwittingly adopted its very strong culture,” and so she started to develop her own work instead. After graduating, she exhibited at Galerie Pierre, one of the most important galleries in France. Other exhibitions followed, showcasing her organic pieces which explore the theme of movement and the process of addition. She now lives in Burgundy, where she creates in a spacious workshop, her “bohemian home”, as she calls it.
