Mediator between past and present
- • Marie's art is very rare and practised by few
- • Her efforts go into developing the techniques for colour printing
- • She works closely with photographers and artists
Originally trained in textiles, Marie Levoyet knew nothing about grain engraving, a very ancient technique practised by very few people in France and in the world. In 2015 she met Fanny Boucher, one of the last people in France to practise this craft and it changed her life forever. Marie decided then to dedicate herself entirely to grain engraving and to specialise in colour. Today, Marie has her own atelier in which she has crafted her own creative universe. She collaborates with photographers and artists who ask her to make their images into gravures. But Marie's skill is more than a work of image transfer: it is also about in-depth research on new themes, developed with ancient techniques. Her passion lies in the sense of identity she associates with this craft from the Mediterranean area.
