Arlette Sauveur, a Lebanese Belgian artist, seamlessly integrates her background in interior architecture with her skills as a painter and sculptor. Over three decades, she has showcased her diverse portfolio, focusing on paper mâché and upcycling sculpture lately.
Salvaging materials like newspapers and driftwood, Sauveur transforms them into evocative sculptures symbolizing resilience and renewal.
At the heart of Sauveur’s practice lies a dedication to reclaiming and revitalizing, emphasizing the beauty in the discarded and overlooked.
Each creation serves as a testament to art’s transformative potential and humanity’s enduring strength
