Biography

Véronique Matteudi graduated from the Grenoble School of Fine Arts and the Villa Arson in Nice. She spent her entire childhood in the Vercors mountain range. Now living in the Toulouse region, she has devoted herself primarily to sculpture for the past twenty years and participates in numerous events related to art and the environment. She creates mainly with plants, wild clematis (vines), minerals, and clay. It is through immersion in the reality of the landscape that creation becomes for her a vehicle for connection and dialogue between humankind and nature.
