Storytelling on porcelain

  • • Véronique's creative medium is porcelain
  • • Her calligraphy drawings explore both illustration and text
  • • She brings painting into the field of decorative arts

Artist at heart, Véronique Joly-Corbin first trained in oil painting at the Beaux-Arts de Paris before her curiosity led her to follow a course in painting on porcelain. Ever since, she has applied this technical know how to expressing her creativity on authentic Limoges porcelain. For Véronique, the calligraphy pen is more than a tool, it is the link between her stories, the common thread of her inspirations. It has gradually led her to explore different graphic universes such as engraving, writing and Japanese prints. "The pen leads to the line," she states. Each of her delicate drawings is the result of a rich documentation she carries out. Along with wall-hung plate installations, Véronique's work extends to furniture and sculpture.

Curiosity disc

These three Limoges porcelain discs feature texts and images hand painted with a calligraphy penholder. The illustrations are inspired by drawings of insects, birds or fossils from the Museum of Natural History, and reflect the atmosphere of a cabinet of curiosities. The pedestal was made in collaboration with a creative ironworker.

Curiosity – story on a wall

These three Limoges porcelain plates are hand painted with a calligraphy pen and inspired by the theme of curiosity and discovery. A coloured band connects the three plates creating a contrast with the black and white composition of the drawings. These unique pieces can be hung on the wall but also used as tableware.

Notre-Dame de Paris

This series of six porcelain plates was inspired by the Notre-Dame cathedral in Paris. Texts and images are delicately hand painted with a calligraphy pen holder. Red and blue, the colours of France, complete the black and white composition of the drawings. Each plate tells a story about the historic monument.

Mountains – Wall porcelain portholes

Inspired by the theme of mountains, these three porcelain portholes are hand painted with a calligraphy penholder. The drawings are done in a zoomed-in effect, conversing with the wallpaper and giving it an artistic touch.
