About me
Valexia was born in France and grew up in Provence where she studied visual arts at the university. Then she moved to Prague to learn the glass art and finally, because she had the possibility to get a studio, she decided to stay and work there. She had the opportunity to participate in lot of exhibitions and to collaborate with art collectors. Following the economic crisis of 2007/2008, she took a break to work as a pastry chef, it will become a decade of culinary experience. Since 2018, she has been returning to the artistic field, embarking once again on her passion, the visual arts, and also starting to explore writing again.
My artistic approach
"The place of art in my life as well as in society, and the importance of our relationship with beauty, are, in my view, fuelled by questions about the origin of life, and so by the emergence of a cosmological point of view. As early as when I was writing the thesis which was ending my visual arts degree, I developed the idea of the void as an in-between in a space where matter is a particular form of energy. This initial reflection on my work has already led to the idea of a personal cosmology. I revealed my fascination with emptiness, an energy void, a full void, a breath of life, a somewhat vague idea of the Taoist void that I find myself discovering today between the lines of the new quantum sciences. This study of the infinitely small and the infinitely large, from physics to cosmology, fascinates me and reinforces my vision of a poetic balance in the world, and of an ever stronger intuition that the real is not what we see. I like to propose a poetic language that uses the philosophical questions posed by the new quantum sciences to question our spirituality, to access our transcendence. Classically, I think that the imagination is an essential poetry to align with our inner dimension:"
