The Artist
Artistic approach:
My artistic approach lies at the crossroads of disciplines—between painting, sculpture, textile art, and installations. I enjoy exploring these boundaries to create hybrid works where textures and volumes engage in a free dialogue. My goal: to find a delicate balance between form, color, and light.
For me, texture is a gateway to depth. I seek materials capable of giving substance to my paintings, of making them resonate. Matter is not simply a support: it acts, reacts, and shapes the gesture. My creations are born from the encounter between organic, mineral, or textile elements that I bind, layer, and prepare with gesso before opening a dialogue with color.
Textiles occupy a central place in my world. I treat them like a living skin that clothes my works, much like a couturier sculpting fabric on a body. Draping, crochet, lace, and layering become tactile languages that extend the gaze. I draw on my influences—ancient and contemporary painting, sculpture, textile art—while asserting my own unique artistic style. Artists such as Olga de Amaral, Chiharu Shiota, Sagarika Sundaram, and Ernesto Neto inform my thinking about textiles as an immersive and emotional space.
Color, for its part, structures my compositions like a living force. I focus on the resonances between hues, materials, and light, guided by the contrasts and harmonies that nature inspires in me. Each nuance becomes an emotional breath that makes the surface vibrate and amplifies the intensity of the viewer's gaze.
My journey is a voyage of constant movement. I seek to reinvent myself, to step outside my comfort zone to continually explore new artistic possibilities. This drive for evolution, this curiosity about materials and color, fuels my research and gives rise to ever-renewed forms of expression.
Biography
Driven by a sensitivity deeply rooted in the contemplation of life, Crann Piorr’Art creates work that connects gesture, matter, and memory. Since the beginning of her practice, the artist has explored the territories of visual expression in multiple forms: painting, assemblage, installation, and environmental art. Her journey has gradually led her towards textiles and fiber art, areas where her artistic research finds an intimate and organic resonance. This evolution is part of a process of slowness, listening, and transformation—an art of thread as much as an art of breath.
Under the name Crann Piorr’Art, the artist weaves a sensitive dialogue with nature. Natural fibers and reclaimed materials become the mediums of a poetic expression, both fragile and grounded. Each gesture, each layering of textures tells a story of connection: the one that unites the body with the world, the past with the present, the trace with presence.
Crann Piorr’Art’s textile works often emerge from slow, meditative processes. They reveal impermanence, the beauty of the fragment, and the memory of the gesture. The artist considers textiles a metaphor for the continuity of life—a thread that connects beings, landscapes, and memories. In this space, creation becomes an act of healing, attentiveness, and connection.
By choosing textiles as her medium of expression, Crann Piorr’Art affirms a practice at the crossroads of the spiritual and the sensory, where matter becomes language. Each work invites us to rediscover the power of detail, the delicacy of touch, and the slowness of observation, as a way of poetically inhabiting the world.
Crann Piorr’Art’s creations have been presented in several group exhibitions and interdisciplinary projects, where visual arts, crafts, and environmental reflection engage in dialogue. The artist regularly collaborates with galleries, collectives, and cultural institutions committed to promoting contemporary textile practices. These encounters nourish a constantly evolving body of work, rooted in the search for the link between matter, memory and life.
