Mineral paper, before final shredding…
the quest for ever finer reduction
Stone paper and biomaterial association
Mineral paper and biomaterials association tests on the manufacture of jellyfish mouth
Design work requires a great deal of experimentation and reflection before any result can be achieved.
The results will be tested, validated or invalidated as the project progresses.
I wanted to test the use of mineral paper in weaving mode while using computer tools for the construction diagrams.
Starting to assemble and make a tropical scorpion fish in 3D.
After 70 hours of hard work making this scorpion fish, I unfortunately had to put it aside for lack of time and funding for the project!
The assemblies in progress are stored in a corner of my workshop and I hope to be able to continue this work soon under better conditions!
These are also the ups and downs of the creative process, as it’s very difficult to get everything done at once without losing a few things along the way!
In order to meet the need for breastplates, which are currently provided with disposable products after the 1st use, I created prototypes of breastplates that are aesthetic, ergonomic, washable several times and customisable!
As you’ll have gathered, the past year has been a busy one, and it also marks a turning point in my work.
Because, in addition to the work presented above, I’ve introduced a new way of marketing my work via leasing/acquisition.
I’ll tell you all about it in a forthcoming publication and wish you all the best for the New Year!
And I wanted to share a few photos of this event organized by the Mayanne évènementiel agency in Paris, represented by Ms Astou Diallo.

I would like to thank ADNEC for the quality of their services and their availability.
Special thanks to ASTOU, who has become my artist agent.
Today, she’s in charge of making my art known beyond all borders, and I’m sure our collaboration is just beginning!
When trust is there, it pushes me to my limits.
What a joy to meet all these artists from different countries.
Taking the “temperature” of the art market in the countries represented by their artists.
Exchanging feelings and experiences, chatting, laughing and feeling that, even if this first edition wasn’t perfect, we had experienced something special that brought us together.
An “elsewhere” that united us for those 3 days and that lives on thanks to social networks.
Now I need to perfect my English conversation, so as to improve the quality of my exchanges with all of you ! It’s so important to me…
I would like to mention Impress print, Abu dhabi, Mr Habir Basheer and his team.
If you are passing through this city and need a print job, I warmly recommend this company.
Thanks
I’m lucky enough to be one of the artists selected for this wonderful adventure !
For over 3 months, I’ve been assiduously preparing for this event with :
I leave it to you to discover the website, created especially for the event and by the organizing company Mayanne évènementiel here :
The program includes the opening of the show on September 20, with :
As you can see, getting out of one’s comfort zone takes on a whole new meaning here, and I have to admit, it’s a real challenge !
As the country has a particular sensibility for the marine world, I chose to present my more or less abstract fish with my favorite techniques.

On the evening of Monday May 22, elected officials, project sponsors and us, the occupants, had the pleasure of showing visitors around our new premises.
It was a time for encounters orchestrated by Ma Friche Urbaine, the company behind the project and manager of the premises.
An evening open to all, organized around a buffet, a crêpe stand and cultural activities for children, and a film screening followed by a debate.
A time to reminisce about this place and discuss future changes…
Speeches by elected representatives
End of the evening
sports events
Since then, we’ve all moved in and started offering painting classes, theater activities, meetings and festivals….
The adventure is just beginning.
fresco relaunched with local youngsters
Local festival this summer
Artists of the collective “les ateliers font le printemps” have decided to organize its doors once a year.
For the past 3 years, a growing number of artists have been organizing to open their workshops, invite colleagues without a space and present their work.
An annual opportunity to push the door of a space of creativity, full of surprises!
A good time to ask questions and feed on shared experiences.
This will be my opportunity to introduce you to this new workspace and explain my different painting techniques :
The neighbouring artists, from the third hill collective, will also be waiting for you in the building opposite mine and I will welcome Fabrice LEITO in the third place space.
(Bus access C 14, S11 stop Duchère castle; free parking on site) OPEN DOORS OF ARTISTS’ WORKSHOPS
Aquarelle sur feuille minérale
In parallel with my usual artistic work, I propose creations only painted, cut, woven with mineral paper.
I thus exploit all the particularities of this new medium, a future paper made mainly with marble powder waste and a non-toxic binder.
Know that this work carried by the workshop flight is very rare since, to my knowledge, very few, if any artist has appropriated this new support.

DELPHINE DUCHESNE – PORTFOLIO PAPIER MINÉRAL VDEF
Enjoy your reading.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Arriving in Lyon summer 2019, I quickly found a place to work in the Duchère district.
Installation for 5 years :
The owner of the place, LMH, plans all this time to organize the rehabilitation works of the whole neighborhood. It is true that space is important.
This makes me happy, because, it must be recognized that emptying a painter’s workshop is not very funny: I have trouble throwing out some things “that could be used” and then, there is all the “small” material.
Small but takes up space in the end!
So, hop, hop, hop, for 5 years, I remake the boxes, the decoration of the room, the hanging of the paintings …
My personal space of 40 m2 with a water point (crucial element for an artist) always has a clear view of Fourvière and the Alps, in fine weather.
I will also be accompanied by new colleagues who rent offices for neighborhood associations, a ceramist and sharing a third party
venue for multiple organizations
of the territory.
Monday 19 December afternoon : move/status of the exit
Monday, January 2, 2023 keys handed over and my gallery workshop set up.
Saturday 7 January from 9.30am to 12.30pm: 1st watercolour course of the year. A watercolour/month course is planned and it will be the 1st Saturday of each month until the summer. It is easy to remember.
next March: inauguration of the site
It is a space for intercultural and intergenerational meetings that will offer activities for all audiences.
In preparation, I will host a monthly and free artistic activity on the 1st Thursday of each month starting Thursday, February 2nd afternoon for the beneficiaries of Singa and Yoon among others. You are most welcome.
Are under reflection one Sunday/coffee per month (objectives : meet around a drink and share music, board games, dance…).
Concerts and several cultural events should also be held. We must give ourselves time to settle down, to get together to organize things, to make a beautiful inauguration of the place.
In the meantime, I wish you all a very happy holiday season.
Feed yourself with music, meetings and sharing and leave out the information!
Thus, we will all find a beautiful energy to live a new year!
See you soon for new adventures…
Once is not customary but still!
Last summer, the Community of Lake Aiguebelette, and under the initiative of Marie-Lou Nivière, organized its first painting exhibition.
Thirty exhibitors gathered in 5 communes around the lake.
Thus, the numerous exhibitors were able to discover their beautiful artistic sensibility through various paintings and sculptures.
Unfortunately, we had a particularly stormy weekend and this did not allow the public to move in numbers.
Nevertheless, the experiment has been acclaimed and is continuing in another form.
Indeed, this year, 4 artists will meet in the same place to present works with the theme of Nature under its most beautiful assets.
Animals and landscapes more or less abstract will rub shoulders to make you dream. The particularly soothing setting of the lake will also be conducive to relaxation and wonder.
The vernissage is offered on Sunday, August 6 in the late afternoon, facing the lake and in the large room of the lake house.
An appointment that promises beautiful moments of exchanges with the public.
We had, as always, a perfect organization and a warm welcome from the members of this Innerwheel Orleans section.
The weather was very good, which made it possible to enjoy the opening outside and also to welcome the public of the plant garden. A large audience and connoisseurs gathered around the glass of friendship and during that time, an artist was performing on a large canvas outside.
During these 3 days, it was a real pleasure to find many familiar faces : it was a bit like coming home.
After 11 years in Orléans, it is quite normal to have forged many ties. Thank you all for your encouragement, your questions about my work, your sharing in your different workshops, our exchanges around your readings, your respective lives…
I had planned to bring a large canvas of 100×70 to better illustrate my recent work. However, the condition of my ankles did not allow me to come by car. So I had come long before the exhibition and I had dropped these small formats at a friend’s but I had to go back by train.
So I presented 8 30×30 formats around 2 themes:
koi carp
cherry blossoms
It was the first time I had done all my public transit trips for an exhibition.
Finally, I admit that it was less tiring and quite comfortable. I rediscover the TER and it’s just a bit longer than a car ride but taking the time to enjoy the countryside is a real pleasure.
And then, my luggage was unloaded from 5 small formats, which made my return easy!
From January 6 to 23, 2022, you can come and discover many painters and sculptors.
Take advantage of this totally free and open edition every afternoon and from 10am to 5pm during the weekends.
I will propose 2 large formats entitled “explosion of life” and a format 30×30
“Explosion de vie 2” Format 70×100
“Explosion de vie 1” Format 70×100
Finally, to prolong the event, a virtual presentation of the works will be proposed on the website of the association after the event:
