Based in northern France, Clara Kint explores the intersection of fragility, resilience, and inner light.

Her work is rooted in a contemporary practice of collage and material, using torn paper, cracked clay, fragments of fabric, natural elements, and at times gold leaf or golden thread. Each composition reveals a process of reconstruction: the tear becomes a language, the visible repair a gesture of strength. She investigates the wounds we carry, visible or hidden, and the beauty that can emerge when we learn to embrace them.

Her artistic process is accompanied by a poetic collection that echoes and extends the gestures made through matter. Her visual language resonates with the traditions of wabi-sabi, kintsugi, and poetic abstraction, while remaining grounded in a sensitive, ethical, and contemporary approach. Her recent works include sculptural pieces combining paper and gold leaf, where light becomes a transformative medium.

"As an artist, I feel deeply connected to this idea:
transforming what is broken into something beautiful,
like the Japanese art of Kintsugi, where cracks are gilded,
celebrating imperfections rather than concealing them."

"Transforming torn paper into a powerful artwork is a fascinating metaphor for human resilience, and even more broadly for life itself. Each piece of paper, with its irregular edges and imperfections, carries a story of fragility and rupture."
