In Rome, she discovered mosaics and spent 10 years learning the art. She takes part in various projects, notably in churches, in France and abroad, in a figurative style.

 

Returning to France in 2014, she opted for a more eremitical life, in the diocese of Troyes, and at the same time opened up to abstract art. Her mosaics feature natural materials such as wood, slate and gold mosaics, and are a continuation of nature and her surroundings.

 

At the same time, she discovered sculpture, to which she applied her skills as a mosaicist and cabinetmaker. These sculptures leave room for the unexpected, and a minimalism counterbalanced by the material worked and present, notably gold leaf, burnished with Agathe's stone on this wood, cut then dried over many months. Sister Samuelle takes on the shape of the wood as it dries, playing with and sublimating it through the gold and Agathe leaves.

As the artist says: "The dialogue that takes place between each material allows them not only to be fully themselves, but also to embellish each other. When each is in its rightful place in relation to the others, unity emerges from the whole, offering itself in a coherent, unified landscape."
