Héloïse Bariol
Héloïse Bariol is a true art lover. After training at the Valence Fine Arts School and obtaining a professional Master’s degree in Artist’s Books/Art Publishing, Héloïse trained at Dieulefit and then continued for three years with renowned ceramist Jérôme Galvin. She settled in Rouen in 2014, continuing her work as an artist and ceramist/potter. Everything in her research, beyond format and category, is part of her own endeavour to seek out points of connection between different disciplines via forms that often refer to notions of usefulness or practicality. She has developed a unique artistic vocabulary making numerous references to architecture and design, and the fine and applied arts. She produces pieces in glazed clay with utilitarian, decorative or sculptural shapes. This cross-disciplinary, unencumbered stance, together with her technical artisanal skills, allows her to demonstrate the universality of folk art and to rethink the mode of presence and the meaning of an object. All her pieces are unique and true little pieces of art.
