A world artist

Born into a family with cosmopolitan ambitions, Béatrice Serre has made the world her favorite playground. From every corner of the globe she has explored with her family, she carries away indelible memories linked to the people, cultures, and natural elements that have welcomed her. Upon returning to France, she studied tapestry at the Lycée Polyvalent de Sèvres before moving to Paris to study at the École Nationale Supérieure des Arts Appliqués et des Métiers d'Art (ENSAAMA Olivier de Serres). It was during her studies that Béatrice created her first mosaic works in marble and granite. It was a revelation! Behind her bold assemblages, whose harmony is matched only by their captivating beauty, lies a profound reflection on diversity. A beautiful way to hold the world in the palm of her hand…

A new vision of an ancestral art

Faithful to the ancient techniques of block carving and hammering, yet drawing on a resolutely contemporary aesthetic, Béatrice Serre has revived a discipline long considered obsolete. Attracted to the energy of stones and minerals, to which she has felt a deep connection since childhood, she chooses to combine the raw and the precious in spectacular creations. Alongside the raw stones she carves, such as slate or lava, Béatrice composes unique chromatic compositions using tesserae of marble or onyx, glass paste, gold enamel, topaz, or lapis lazuli. The result? Unprecedented works of art with rich textures and shimmering light!

The field of possibilities

From interior design to sculpture and furniture, Béatrice Serre explores the infinite possibilities offered by the art of mosaic. Limited only by her creativity, she tirelessly assembles fragments of the world to create breathtaking collections. Jewelry, tables, mirrors, lamps, bas-reliefs, frescoes, and monumental wall decorations: Béatrice's works enchant the world with their hypnotic and moving aesthetic. A journey into the heart of nature's most beautiful offerings, revealed only by Béatrice…
