The artist’s passion for ceramic decoration and hand-building techniques is reflected in her complex and meticulous modeling and painting over glaze. Her artistic world revolves around organic forms and emphasizes the power of natural elements. Drawing has also become a complementary field of expression for her, with her intricate pieces exploring the dynamic of moving bodies and the concept of fusion and hybridization.
Moreover, Anne-Sophie’s creative process evokes a spiritual dimension. Her delicate gesture reflects a meditative execution where the spirit is directly connected to the matter, and her hands are the sole intermediaries.
