Mathilde Sauce
Sculptor
Born in 1993 and raised in the Paris region, she carries within her strong memories of marine landscapes, connected to her family’s close relationship with the ocean. Perhaps this is where her attraction to organic, moving forms—full of energy and flow—began. Dance, which she practiced for many years in an academic and conservatory setting, also shaped her vision. In her sculptures, forms rise, unfold, and stretch upward, like bodies in tension searching for balance and growth.
She creates a biomorphic universe inspired by plants, aquatic elements, and the human body. Her sculptures are organic presences evolving in an imaginary garden. They build a personal mythology where the boundaries between the human body and the living world become porous. Through this work, she tries to make visible the intimate connection between inside and outside, between the individual and a larger living world.
Nature has been an essential resource since childhood. It nourishes her forms and narratives. But this is not a descriptive nature—it is an inner landscape. Sometimes sensual, sometimes unsettling, sometimes attractive or slightly repulsive, her pieces explore ambivalence. Softness can exist beside tension; beauty can suggest defense or self-protection. Elements of protection, aggression, and vulnerability appear, as in any living organism.
