Capucine Safir

ARTIST STATEMENT

Through my art, I explore Nature with her random and pure forms. Femininity in its roundness, strength, and complexity, is another significant inspiration.
I work mainly on instinct. The process of reduction plays an important role in my creation. By removing details and simplifying my shapes, I obtain the roundness, sensuality, and emotion that I seek in abstraction. This applies to my sculptures as well as to my drawings or paintings. If the physical involvement in the two media differs considerably, the gesture, the movement as well as my thoughts go in the same direction. I like the idea of installing a dialogue between my sculptures and my drawings. 

My work is elegant, pure, organic, and sensual 

BIO

Born in Paris, Capucine Safir now lives in Miami. 

After working for several years in the movie industry, she decided to change career and earn a degree in interior design in Australia where she lived for 3 years. Back in Paris, she works for her own firm. In addition, she discovered the art of direct carving in stone in a studio of the 17th district. This form of art is immediately natural. It is after her second expatriation, in Miami, in 2013, that she becomes a professional artist by extending her practice to other materials and techniques. Capucine integrates a local gallery in the first year. Since then, her sculptures have been part of numerous private collections and are regularly exhibited in contemporary art galleries and fairs throughout the United States.
