Victoire Inchauspé grew up in a small village in the Basque Country. It was there—and thanks to her mother, an art teacher—that she first discovered art. Her mother introduced her to “crafting” with natural elements found during walks. Deer, spiders, bees, bats, mimosas, thistles, and sunflowers compose imaginary worlds and narrative landscapes that evoke bygone seasons. She incorporates their bodies, or fragments of them, into her pieces, creating a subtle tension between absence and presence, the ephemeral and the eternal, strength and fragility. In her work, everything ultimately revolves around cycles—of birth, peak, decay, death, and rebirth. A meditation on a poetic sense of the collective, her art evokes states both personal and universal: vulnerability, the experience of absence, resilience, and hope.
