Keeping a child's soul. That is the intention of Adélie Ducasse, a multidisciplinary artist whose colorful, playful universe draws from the spontaneity of childhood and its brightly colored games.

Ducasse grew up across New Caledonia and Réunion, two islands where saturated color and primal geometry are part of the landscape. That early visual environment shaped the palette and formal vocabulary she carries into every piece she makes.

At university, she studied mathematics. The discipline gave her tools for abstraction that intuition alone could not: sequences that repeat and transform, structures that can be modulated without limit. Her paintings read like logical proofs made visible, each element occupying a precise position in a larger system.

From painting, she moved toward three-dimensional form. The design objects she creates today follow the same geometric logic, but now carry function. They are sculptures that sit on a surface and serve a purpose, works that exist at the boundary between art and design.
