Les Soeurs du Ciel 2
Oil on paper
Virginie Hucher’s figurative paintings balance strength and fragility, capturing languid yet powerful figures that defy easy interpretation. Birds, flowers, and classical graces—symbols often tied to femininity—become tools for deeper contemplation, revealing beauty not as ornament but as force. In Hucher’s world, fragility is not the opposite of strength but an intrinsic part of it, woven into each form with quiet intensity. Her figures, at once serene and unyielding, exist in a space where grace and resilience merge, inviting us to reconsider the depth of vulnerability and the weight of softness.

About the Artist
Virginie Hucher
French artist Virginie Hucher centers her artistic expression on vibrant acrylic and oil paintings, as well as performance and sculpture, all exploring themes connected to nature, the human body, and life itself. Hucher trained in the studios of Michel Gouéry, Bruno Lebel, and Marc Alberghina, developing a unique sensibility for abstract forms. She liberates herself through a creative process that combines dance and drawing, resembling a performance, using abstract forms to tell stories of nature.
