Laurine Malengreau creates textile paintings with hands full of silk and wool. Layering these materials and giving them a particular strength brings her a primal joy. By extension, she is intimately convinced that art expands the good and the beautiful.

In search of vital momentum, she crafts bold and shimmering works, infused with organic accents and chimerical roots.

Works that speak to you.

The word “nuno”, of Japanese origin, signifies tissue. The Nuno Silk technique intimately blends natural wool and silk to create a non-woven fabric, all in lightness and transparency.
