Jane Puylagarde

After studying law and political science, Jane Puylagarde turned to fashion design and created her own ready-to-wear brand, becoming one of the promising young designers of the 1980s. In the early 90s, on a trip to Mexico, she made a decisive encounter with an Indian ceramist who painted small drops of paint forming circles. The miracle of the drops had just acted on Jane who, for years, appropriated this gesture and reinvented it by developing a unique technique and monochromatic art. Since the 2000s, her works have been noticed in exhibitions in Paris, Barcelona and Geneva. A few years later, a decisive turning point came with social media and brought her visibility on the international scene. Her works were then purchased and promoted all around the world by major collectors, designers and institutions, notably in the United States, Japan and Canada. Today, the independent artist pursues her artistic path in her studios, located in Paris and Formentera, while her work continues to adorn the best places in the private and public collections of her international clientele. Naturally one would expect to find her work shown in many countries around the world as it is about liberty without frontiers. With her latest monumental works, Jane Puylagarde continues to develop her technique and prove that the ultimate challenge for an artist is the power of reinvention.
