Dominique Mercadal

After studying Applied Arts and gaining experience in textile design, Dominique Mercadal turned as a self-taught artist to ceramics and its infinite possibilities, which she explored through sculpture. She uses colored stoneware and works them on the plate, sometimes mixing them, then covers her pieces with streaks, dots and enamels in successive layers, fixed by several firings.

The roots of her inspiration are in nature, the landscape and the human body.

Her perpetual preoccupation is to give life to her pieces. By creating an optical vibration on their surface, she transforms them from a mineral form into a living matter.
