Hélène Lusignan

Art Collect Store - Helene Lusignan

Sculptor, visual artist, and painter, Hélène Lusignan was born in 1965 in Saint-Quentin, Picardy. From childhood, she developed a deep sensitivity to all living things — to the secret rhythm of nature, to the breath of the animal and vegetal worlds. At sixteen, she earned a sculptor’s certificate (CAP) — an unconventional path for a young woman in the 1980s, when workshops were still considered a man’s domain. But Hélène refused such limitations. She chose another road, armed with a travel notebook and a free, untamed spirit.

From Europe to other continents, she explored the world, its people, and its philosophies. Fascinated by thought, matter, spirituality, and science, she lived through many lives — until exhaustion. Burnout became a crossing point. What seemed an end turned into a beginning: a new artist was born — freer, more vibrant, closer to the essential.

Her artistic practice — sculpture, painting, installation — is rooted in a quest for unity. Freed from academic constraints, she creates by invoking the six elements that ground her work: wood, fire, water, earth, wind, and metal. Her process is intuitive, embodied, and open to surprise. “I try to unite the macrocosm and the microcosm, to make the invisible visible,” she says. Satellite view or bark texture, cosmos or cell — the world unfolds in her works with an organic, almost alchemical vibration.

Her materials — aged wood, resin, pigments, fiberglass — speak of time, wear, and transformation. Each painting, each sculpture becomes a passage between the intimate and the universal. The wood yields under the tool, revealing its flaws — and it is within that fragility that the true path begins. Hélène does not correct; she accompanies, listens, follows.

“The birth of a work begins in my soul,” she says. “Then it migrates to the brain, where everything interlocks… But I realize I am closer to the theory of chaos.” The creative chaos — a driving force of life, intensity, and raw beauty.

Since 2019, she has exhibited regularly, both solo and in group shows, in France and abroad. All her works are protected by ADAGP and listed with AKOUN for both sculpture and painting. Through each creation, Hélène Lusignan celebrates matter and vital impulse, the unpredictable and harmony — art as a passage between worlds.

 

TESTIMONIALS

One can almost imagine shimmering waves in motion, shifting with every change of light… Each glance reveals a different impression. The ebb and flow of the sea comes to life — waves of the soul. It’s as if a subtle soundscape unfolds in the mind, like the seashells of childhood held to the ear — a quiet, endless pleasure, always renewed.

We ordered a piece from Hélène Lusignan. She managed to incorporate wood from an old family bed into her sculpture, and the result is a true success. Thank you so much!
