French Ceramic Artists: Violaine Ulmer & Valérie Casado
As part of the FASMA 2026 program, this special presentation brings together the work of two distinguished French artists whose contemporary ceramic practices explore the relationship between material, nature, and artistic expression. Violaine Ulmer and Valérie Casado demonstrate how porcelain can become a powerful medium for innovation, sculpture, and poetic visual storytelling.
Through highly individual artistic approaches, both creators transform porcelain into a language of texture, movement, and emotion, revealing the remarkable expressive possibilities of one of the world's most refined ceramic materials.
Porcelain as Contemporary Art
A graduate of the Université Paris I Panthéon-Sorbonne, Violaine Ulmer combines sculpture, contemporary jewelry, and material exploration in a body of work that investigates the relationship between form, the human body, and porcelain. Her creations feature organic structures, experimental glazes, and sculptural compositions that blur the boundaries between wearable art and contemporary sculpture.
Valérie Casado draws inspiration from nature, transparency, and delicate organic forms. Her porcelain works evoke lace, botanical structures, and the fragile beauty of the natural world, resulting in elegant contemporary ceramics that celebrate lightness, refinement, and craftsmanship.
