Claire Prouvost is a French visual artist based in Dublin.
She studied Applied Arts in Toulouse before moving to Ireland where she works and lives. Over the past two years, Claire has concentrated on her studio practice, creating mixed media artworks and paintings that explore themes of interdependence and self-understanding.
By playing with the boundaries between figuration and abstraction, her work becomes a self-portrait, through which she explores and articulates intimate experiences, emotions, and memories that resonate with our shared human experience.
