WHAT MICHEL ESTADES SAYS:
Marine de Soos is strongly inspired by the African continent, where she lived as a child, and her poetic oeuvre is instilled with its mystical power. Her sensual sculptures, filled with movement, invite us on a humanistic journey that transcends boundaries and nations.
Biography:
Marine de Soos and Africa’s influence
Born in Paris in 1967, Marine de Soos spent part of her childhood in Africa. She draws much of her inspiration from it, especially its symbolic energy. Marine returned to France to start a marketing career in Paris. In 1991, she abandoned this environment and decided to devote herself to sculpture. She trained with American master sculptor Jonathan Hirschfeld.
Marine de Soos creates works that reproduce Africa’s wisdom and invites the viewer to a timeless journey to the heart of knowledge.
Invoking a distant and dreamlike world, Marine de Soos extracts nostalgic poetry that, in the 21st-century materialistic world, is rich in significance. As Ludovic Bourdié summarizes, “What Marine de Soos gives us is a modest expression, an ethical and aesthetic injunction of her union with the world’s very soul. »
Marine de Soos and the themes of her work
From Africa to Europe, Marine de Soos tells us as many authentic stories. They are moments of pure imaginary joy, communicative and reconstituted from images gleaned here and there, whether the gesture of a hand, the position of a foot, or the bent of a head.
Her bronze figures show simple scenes that seem to encapsulate our joy and hope for a better future. Contemplation guides her art. Through her work, she invites the viewer to relive moments she has seen and experienced. Furthermore, she seeks to communicate all that she has been able to appreciate and feel. Her work is rooted in geography and history. Marine de Soos is inspired by the people of Africa and Indonesia, whose ancestral gestures extend through time immemorial.
Distant emotions are abruptly tangible. After exploring the human condition’s universality, Marine de Soos focuses her work on a bestiary, sacred cows of India, African elephants that abound in symbolism and grandeur.
