Sandrine Herlin
Immerse yourself in the enchanting world by Sandrine Herlin, where ceramics become both an artistic expression and a craft know-how, imbued with a poetic depth and imagery inspired by his childhood memories in Africa.
Her creations, both rooted and aerial, draw dreamlike landscapes inhabited by invisible and benevolent creatures. Clouds, huts and majestic baobabs, emblems of Guinea where she lived.
Each work of Sandrine is a unique and signed sculpture-object, meticulously designed with great attention to technical details. It combines the tangible and the imaginary, creating Objects that transcend their decorative function to become evocative symbols, grigris that awaken the imagination and instill sweetness, surprise and fantasy in the spaces they occupy.
Constantly evolving, while adding a touch of poetry and personalization to each environment, her works sometimes tend towards small furniture, adapting perfectly to different environments, whether it is the intimacy of a living room or the immensity of a reception hall.
Graduated of the Institut d’Arts Visuels d’Orléans, Sandrine first worked as an illustrator in the graphic design studio she created with her husband. Her desire to combine drawing with textiles led her to create a collection under the name Sandrine la sardine and collaborations with editors such as Vert Baudet and Masureel International happened. In 2017, the first clay modellings emerged in the studio, driven by the desire to combine drawing with clay, to give body and volume to the elements that sprinkle her illustrations.Since then, Sandrine Herlin has exhibited in several galleries in France and abroad, in particular in Brussels.
Responding to custom orders, she stands out during her participation in the prestigious Maison & Objet trade shows in Paris or at the Delft Ceramic Days in the Netherlands.
Halfway between two worlds, and true testimony of their versatility and the timeless appeal that they provide, her works have been exhibited in a museum setting at La Piscine de Roubaix and the Art School of Douai.
Sculptural Baobabs, Dreamlike Refuges and small furniture are invitations to escape, where ceramics allow exploration of new worlds both personal and universal.
