TANGO (2013) Sculpture by Marie-Pierre Philippe-Lohézic (MPPL-ART)

Born in Paris, Marie-Pierre studied at l’École des Beaux-Arts, where her artistic journey began with a focus on sketching and oil painting. Her remarkable versatility stems from her fearless exploration of new methods and mediums, which includes printmaking, carving, bronzing, and other techniques.

Marie-Pierre's artistic development was further enriched during her time living in Asia. The diverse cultures of China, Vietnam, and Thailand deeply influenced her aesthetic and introduced her to additional techniques.

Inspired by modern artists such as Picasso, Cézanne, Rodin, and Archipenko, Marie-Pierre has a strong attraction to cubism and abstraction. Her work is highly sought after for large-scale commissions, many of which have been shipped internationally.

Initially beginning her career as a painter, Marie-Pierre later transitioned to sculpture. Recently, she has returned to painting, reflecting how life changes can influence one's artistic voice. She views art as a means of expressing her inner voice through color and emotion, considering her work as Abstract Expressionism.

Marie-Pierre believes that a successful piece of art forms a connection with viewers, evoking emotions that linger. She experiments with various media and subject matter, stating that ideas dictate the choice of medium rather than the other way around. For her, the medium is simply a tool to communicate and convey the distinctive sensations she aims to suggest.
