Haude Bernabé
(b. France)

Born in France and with a scientific background (agronomist engineer), Haude Bernabé has devoted herself to art since the early 1990s. Her first passion was art, the second one biology. In these two approaches to life, the same engine, understanding the living was at the base.

In her studio near Paris, through various media, sculpture, drawing and installation, her polymorphic work halfway between conception and intuition explores the territories of the intimate, the relation to the Other, the spiritual links and the movements of our societies.

Since 2019 and through many stays in west Africa, in Benin and Togo between 2019 and 2023 she began to explore the links between human beings and nature, particularly in her drawings, using natural components as plant pigments and leaf prints.

Since 2021 she focused her work on drawings and the use of natural elements in them, through the practice of prints and collagraphy, symbolizing the interdependence of humanity and the nature. She continued this work during a stay in Yangmingshan in October 2024. Since 1996, her work has been presented in many solo and group exhibitions in galleries (Claire Corcia gallery, Paris, France - Galerie l'oeil-de-boeuf, Paris, France - Galleria Favre, Barcelona, Spain - Artsupermarket Gallery, French May, Hong Kong,) and art centers (Maison des Arts, Chatillon, France - Bancaja Fundacion, Castellion, Spain – Fondation Ecureuil, Toulouse, France - Musee des Beaux Arts, Carcassonne, France).

She has taken part in sculpture residencies: a stone workshop in Portugal in 2012 and glass workshops in Murano ( Italy) in 2016 and 2018.

A monography devoted to her work as sculptor has been edited in 2016 thanks to Catherine Kessedjian, founder of the “Fondation Villa Seurat pour l’Art Contemporain”. Her work is also present in many private collections, in France and abroad ( USA, Canada, Swiss, Bénin, Hong Kong, Taiwan...) including the Cérès Franco Museum in Montolieu, France.
