From her studio in Brittany, Barbara Daeffler creates unique works that explore the ancestral links between humans and animals. Inspired since childhood by the raw beauty of the wild world, she uses sculpture to question a bygone era when humans lived in harmony with animals.
Her career closely combines art and archaeology: she studied art history, ethnology and archaeology, enriched by years of practice in ceramics and teaching the arts of fire. It is in clay, a primitive and symbolic material, that she draws the essence of her artistic language.
Her animal sculptures, made of stoneware and porcelain, bear the traces of an imaginary past. Fragmented, marked by erosion or colourful tattoos, they evoke a poetic and vibrant paleontology. Through fire, textures, oxides and enamels, the artist gives her creatures a mysterious and timeless presence.
Her ‘Beasts’, sometimes monumental, hybridise worlds, elevating the animal to totem status and the material to memory. The earth becomes skin, stretched to the point of cracking, in a play of contrasts between roughness and finesse, archaism and grace.
A member of Ateliers d'Art de France since 2023, Barbara Daeffler has exhibited regularly in galleries, salons and exhibitions since setting up her studio in 2018.
Although he initially pursued a career in engineering, Reivilo has always been connected to the art world, a passion passed on by his father who was a painter and sculptor.
The pandemic and the passage of time have prompted Reivilo to further explore her passion for creating art.
His production is expressed in multiple forms, from sculpture, ceramics, to photography, to chemical processes. The sea, marine plant and animal life, and human beauty, are his new exploratory worlds.
