About Monyke Mine-Lamare

A graduate of the "Terre et feu" school of Plastic Arts in Paris, I have been practicing sculpture and painting since 2001.
I first took direct carving classes at the Cour Roland workshop in Jouy en Josas, then those of Yeva and Christophe Charbonnel.

My work in sculpture is fueled by a perpetual desire to experiment with different materials and to question my technique.
I sculpt stone, model clay, plaster, resin or wax.
My work, between classical tradition and contemporary and abstract influence, is essentially focused on different images of women, but, behind this general theme, there is also the desire to take a look at a multiple and mixed humanity.

My paintings are sometimes figurative, sometimes abstract. But abstract painting allows me to express the lightness of space, the fusion of colors and the turbulence of forms, where masses and emptiness compete for space.


" We want to sculpt a living person, but what makes them alive is actually their gaze... Everything else is just the framing of the gaze. " Alberto Giacometti

" What is abstract to you is real to me. " Zao Wou-Ki
