Marie De Decker<\/h2><\/div><\/div>[vc_column_text]Multidisciplinary artist, trained in fine arts, photography and graphic creation, Marie De Decker first became known as a portraitist.\n

Since 2022, she has seized the language of\u00a0Artisanal craft<\/b> to develop a singular work blending image, sculpture and installation, drawing and performance.<\/p>\n

Inhabited by the\u00a0question of origins and transmission,<\/b>\u00a0Marie De Decker is interested in the correspondences between\u00a0matter and memory<\/b>.\u00a0Its dual cultural heritage, the lace of Flanders and the gold of the Empire of Mali, irrigates this research, turned towards the emergence of a collective memory.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=\"1\/2\" css=\".vc_custom_1716899587431{padding-top: 170px !important;padding-right: 10% !important;padding-bottom: 170px !important;padding-left: 10% !important;background-image: url(https:\/\/adamah-fine-arts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Marie-De-Decker.jpg?id=2385) !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;border-radius: 10px !important;}\"][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=\"stretch_row\" gap=\"35\" content_placement=\"middle\" equal_height=\"yes\" css_animation=\"none\" css=\".vc_custom_1716812727743{padding-top: 50px !important;padding-bottom: 50px !important;}\"][vc_column css_animation=\"none\" width=\"1\/2\" css=\".vc_custom_1716899622545{padding-top: 170px !important;padding-right: 10px !important;padding-bottom: 170px !important;padding-left: 10% !important;background-image: url(https:\/\/adamah-fine-arts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Golden-Genesis-scaled.jpg?id=2382) !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;border-radius: 10px !important;}\"][\/vc_column][vc_column width=\"1\/2\"][vc_column_text]Nurtured by the observation of nature, its work celebrates above all the\u00a0the permanence of the living and invites wonder<\/b>. Drawings, sculptures, objects and installations compose a\u00a0organic universe<\/b>where the motifs \u2013 feather and scale \u2013 and the light evoke the symbolic forms and flows of the terrestrial and celestial worlds.<\/p>\n

The mangroves of the Indian Ocean are her realm of inspiration and the laboratory of her commitment to\u202fa sustainable creation<\/b>. The artist collects fishing nets and discarded materials there, and combines them with natural substances (mother\u2011of\u2011pearl, vegetal fibre, shell). Imbued with the touch of fauna and flora, these elements carry their own history. They are ancient forgotten objects (blessed jugs, family chests), to which she restores a presence.<\/p>\n

Marie De Decker has chosen to use gold as a revelator. Metal of origins,<\/b>born of the cosmos and present on Earth since its formation, it links the perceptible and the invisible, past and future; it comes\u202fto tell\u202f<\/b>and fix the narratives in time.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=\u201cstretch_row\u201d gap=\u201c35px\u201d content_placement=\u201cmiddle\u201d equal_height=\u201cyes\u201d css_animation=\u201cnone\u201d css=\u201c.vc_custom_1792070490600{padding-top: 50px !important;padding-bottom: 50px !important;background-color: #F5F5F5 !important;}\u201d][vc_column width=\u201c1\/2\u2033][vc_column_text]To liberate the metal from the surface and defy gravity, the artist develops her own techniques, inspired by the know\u2011how of gilding and textiles. Her gold filigree draws in space with an unreal lightness effect,\u202fconducive to contemplation.<\/b><\/p>\n

When this gesture becomes performance, accompanied by music and moving images, the artist again invites the viewer to inhabit a space of\u202fpresence and consciousness<\/b> detached from usual bearings.<\/p>\n

Born in Paris in 1988, Marie De Decker<\/a><\/strong> lives and works between Luxembourg and Poudre d\u2019Or (Maurice).\u202f<\/u><\/u><\/p>\n

In recent years, her work has been exhibited as part of the\u202fParis Design Week<\/i>(2024, 2026) and of theRevelations Biennale<\/i>\u00a0at the Grand Palais (2025). She participates in the autumn 2026 collective exhibitions\u00a0Homo Faber<\/i>\u00a0organized by the Michelangelo Foundation in Venice and\u00a0Africa Legacy<\/i>\u00a0to Brussels.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column css_animation=\"none\" width=\"1\/2\" css=\".vc_custom_1792070640452{padding-top: 170px !important;padding-right: 10px !important;padding-bottom: 170px !important;padding-left: 10px !important;background-image: url(https:\/\/adamah-fine-arts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Perpetual-Shine-scaled.jpg) !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;border-radius: 10px !important;}\"] offset=\"vc_col-xl-inherit vc_col-lg-inherit vc_col-md-6 vc_col-sm-inherit\"][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=\"stretch_row\" gap=\"35\" content_placement=\"middle\" equal_height=\"yes\" css_animation=\"none\" css=\".vc_custom_1716812697084{padding-top: 50px !important;padding-bottom: 50px !important;}\"][vc_column]<\/p>
