GUYLAINE COUTTOLENC
Kalia

From a very young age, coexistence with nature has been a very important pillar in my life.

From my mother, I learned to observe, to contemplate, and to marvel at the aesthetics of nature. She was a well-known sculptor who transferred this contemplation to her own artistic development. She studied the organic forms of different aspects of nature to create her imposing monumental sculptures intervening spaces in different countries such as Canada, the United States, China, England ...

From this inheritance, the organic and perfect forms of nature have always accompanied me, consciously and unconsciously. I have a strong visual background.

KALIA, beauty in Greek, is a visual tribute to the perfection of the small treasures that surround us but sometimes go unnoticed in our everyday lives. Through light, contrast, and a specific angle I was able to find its amazing organic forms, and beauty.

I invite the viewer to pause and observe the perfect expression of nature.
