Valérie Billet

Visual artist — Sète

Approach

Imprint, trace, memory

A self-taught artist, she lives and works in Sète. Her work is rooted in childhood and inspired by her immediate surroundings; beyond a purely aesthetic search, it questions the imprint, the trace, interaction, memory, the scar, construction.
