Véronique Le Mouël Canivet

About Véronique Le Mouël Canivet

Her artistic activity involves creating and executing sculptural and participatory plastic interventions in public spaces, cultural venues, or businesses.

Her work takes very different plastic forms depending on the subjects addressed, with a common point: allowing personal expression from each individual and creating a collective work from individual expressions.

With a background in interior architecture from the Ecole Camondo (degree 1985), she shifts towards communication and design, becoming a consultant specialized in brand visual identity strategy in major Parisian communication agencies from 1986 to 1995. In 1996, she creates her own agency and manages large projects for change and identity creation (name, logo, graphic charter) for international groups and companies. She discovers a passion for sculpture in 2005 and chooses to make it her full-time profession starting in 2007. She begins a master’s degree in Plastic Arts at Paris Panthéon Sorbonne in 2010, which she completes in 2012.
