Keeping her child's soul: this is the intention of A.Délie, a multifaceted artist whose colorful, playful and joyful universe is inspired by the spontaneity of childhood and its brightly colored games such as as legos and puzzles.
Adélie Ducasse grew up in the islands, New Caledonia and Réunion, where she developed her taste for colors and primitive shapes.
Later, it is in California, that she reconnects with the feelings of her childhood. She lived there for a while and returned there often to enjoy her sunshine, her lifestyle and to be inspired by the modernist architecture that characterizes the region.
The geometric abstraction of these creations has its origins in her passion for mathematics – an extension of her childhood games – which she studied at university. This science has allowed him to construct his abstract thought and requires real gymnastics of the mind, which forges creativity.
Adélie's first professional life was spent in the big fashion houses in Paris and New York, where she developed luxury shoes. The work of this very technical object gives her a vision of 3-dimensional forms, allowing her now to transform concepts into objects.
Adélie loves natural materials and works with craftsmen with unique know-how. She uses ceramics to shape design objects and sculptures with her own hands, giving them a unique appearance and expressive personality. From it is reborn the joyful naivety and poetry of childhood.
