Born in Paris, in 1993. She lives and works in Paris.
Garance Vallèe grew up surrounded by art. She began to draw and create objects as a child, amid punk music and paints in the studio of her artist father, Kriki—renowned for his role in French Street Art in the 1980s. Vallèe uses experimental, eclectic language and draws inspiration from contemporary art and architecture, translating her research into a sophisticated symbolic universe suspended between reality and utopia. During her life, the meeting in New York with the Italian architect Ada Tolla was decisive, leading her to formulate her own stylistic vocabulary. His work is characterized by a great plurality, from architecture to scenography, from design to sculpture, passing through the design of objects. Starting from the design, he imagines original architectural scenes that sometimes lead to the production of objects in cement and plaster cast in layers and then painted with natural pigments. Garance Vallée creates unique pieces with a touch of contemporary elegance and romanticism, creating a multi-faceted personal universe with Mediterranean and ancient influences.
