About the artwork:

Original artwork by the artist Elia Pagliarino, created using a double-firing ceramic process, celebrates Loïe Fuller, dancer and pioneer of modern dance from the United States. The ovoid sculpture is decorated with black drawings depicting female figures in motion, wrapped in veils that evoke the fluidity of her dance. Topped with a golden structure shaped like wings or flowing fabric, it embodies the grace, innovation, and expressiveness of this iconic artist.

About the artist:

“ We must not be afraid of ambiguities; we must encourage differences. ”

Elia Pagliarino is a French visual artist born in 1967 whose work explores the notions of identity, appearance, and collective memory. Coming from an environment shaped by diversity and disability, she draws inspiration from ethnology, biology, and popular culture to create works combining drawing, sculpture, and ceramics. After a career in graphic design and scenography, she has devoted herself entirely to art since 2014.

Her work stands out through collections such as the Balises©, ceramics preserving life stories, and the Contes Sauvages, large drawings depicting an exuberant human bestiary. Winner of the Pure Art Prize in 2017, she continues to explore new artistic forms from her studio in the Aude region.
