Héloïse Piraud is an artist grounded in a deep understanding of art history and archaeology, a foundation honed at Sorbonne Paris IV. Specializing in ceramics, she transforms myth and tradition into refined contemporary forms, drawing inspiration from ancient representations of the animal world and symbolic visual languages. Her work—marked by a balanced sensitivity and rigorous craftsmanship—has been showcased in solo exhibitions such as Mythologies at Ceramic Brussels with Gallery Lefebvre & Fils, and featured in renowned international venues including Design Miami (with Gallery Scène Ouverte), PAD London, and the Officine Saffi Awards in Milan. She has exhibited in carefully curated group shows at leading institutions and galleries such as Le Clézio Gallery (Paris), Tools Galerie and Volume Ceramic (Paris and Brussels), Fondation Thalie (Brussels), and during Milan Design Week. Her work, sensitive and demanding, questions our connection to the natural world and the symbolic heritage of the past.
