Juliette Lepage Boisdron was born in Paris in 1971 and grew up between the U.S.S.R., the United Arab Emirates, northern China and sub-Saharan Africa. This nomadic and multicultural background nourished her imagination from an early age and deeply shaped her artistic sensibility.
Her work explores what unfolds silently within human relationships: the place of women, mothers and children, and everything that is transmitted without words. Deeply connected to the living world, her universe intertwines femininity, childhood and nature through hybrid, often asymmetrical figures combining human, animal and vegetal forms. Influenced by a sensibility close to animism, her work is inhabited by recurring motifs — plants, insects, elephants and cacti — which reflect our relationship to the world while symbolizing fragility, resilience and the cycles of life.
Marked by her years in Asia, she works primarily with ink on rice paper, a demanding medium that allows no correction and requires a form of immediate precision while leaving space for the unpredictable. The forms, often incomplete or unstable, affirm that imperfection is fully part of life and evoke a world where nothing is fixed, where everything remains in motion within a fragile and constantly shifting balance.
Through these forms and imbalances, she explores fragilities, invisible tensions and discreet presences, centered around an essential question: the need for love at the origin of life, and what we become when it is lacking. Her work is part of a search for repair and reconnection — to oneself, to others and to the living world — opening a space where softness and gravity coexist, sometimes touched with a hint of humor.
She holds a Master’s degree in Art History from the Sorbonne and lives and works between Basel and Paris. She is a member of Visarte, DOCK Basel and Plan d’Est, and is represented by Galerie Cécile Dufau, Eleven Ten and Unchained.Art.
