Mango tree 1
“Manguier 1” (04/2023) is a light sculpture by Diane de Kergal where natural non-woven silk from the Cévennes becomes light-material. 3 peeled beech branches, 5 silk cocoons, black metal base. This unique work embodies the artist's vision of the relationship between humanity and nature. Each silk cocoon reveals a soft, lunar, almost meditative clarity. Inspired by forests and solitary trees, this 85x237x40 cm piece is a bridge between the visible world and the sensitive world. The slow and organic process of creation bears witness to the artist's quest to capture the vibration of life. This light sculpture invites you to slow down, to feel, to find within yourself a surge of optimism and poetry.

Piece handcrafted by the artist in France
Diane de Kergal is self-taught, her path having been built organically, guided by curiosity, observation and experimentation. From styling to painting, from painting to clay, from clay to construction, to wood, to metal… Each medium has taught him something, each of his artistic or artisanal practices having nourished the others. It is in this spirit of research that she continues to advance, now combining all her skills, her know-how and her materiality with her artistic eye. Since 2018, she has been creating pieces of furniture and sculptures, working with earth, wood, metal and paint, mixing craftsmanship and art, the refinement of gestures and the energy of pictoriality, control and letting go.
