L’utilisation de la marqueterie me permet de rendre hommage à l’artisanat d’art qui a une grande importance dans ma vie.
Œuvre créée à partir d'une planche de contreplaqué, que j'ai peint, gravé, sculpté. La matière enlevée (coté négatif) crée paradoxalement du positif (volume, lumières). J'ai ensuite intégré les poissons en marqueterie.

Aurélie Charpentier is a contemporary French artist known for her intuitive approach to creation, emphasizing the mastery of materials such as wood, plywood, and paint. Charpentier draws inspiration from the constant presence of music and poetry, which play a vital role in her artistic process. She has a particular affinity for wood, describing it as a living material that is warm to the touch and rich in imagery.
Her artistic journey is marked by a deep, almost autobiographical relationship with wood, which she often uses in its scrap form, salvaged from construction sites. By transforming this so-called "bastard material" into art, she not only showcases the practical and technical variety of wood but also reflects on environmental sustainability and the future of materials.
Charpentier has developed a unique method that she refers to as "pictoengraving," a technique she invented that involves layering different shades of plywood. Through processes such as engraving, sawing, and sculpting, she reveals the extracted material, where the negative space paradoxically creates positive elements like volume and light. In certain works, she enhances her pieces with pictorial additions, further enriching the visual experience. Her dedication to exploring the interplay between materiality and artistic expression defines her work and contributes to her recognition as an innovative figure in contemporary art.
