Bio

Laurine Malengreau expresses her passion for life covering walls with exceptionnal textile artworks. Her training with painters since childhood has made her aware of the beauty of the world and the importance of artistic fluidity. A keen awareness of her impact on the environment has led her to play with a palette of natural, luxurious materials, such as silk chiffon and merino wool. Inspired by the residences of the Enlightenment Era, the turbulent landscapes of the Romantic painters, or the precision of the hypnotic solid colours of abstraction, she creates strong and unique artworks with dreamlike accents.

‘‘Working with colours is, for me, an inner vibration and an endless initiation.”

From Belgium, Laurine Malengreau trained first as paintor and after as an art historian and was introduced to the technique of Nuno Silk (non-woven mixing silk and wool) by the artist Carmen Escolano in Madrid in 2008. She has been living in the tapestry capital, Aubusson, in France, for more than ten years. Winner of the Artist Innovator prize in 2020 for being the only workshop offering large Nuno Silk artworks, Laurine Malengreau continues the great tradition of wall hangings to the delight of private collectors (France, Belgium, Canada, China, Russia, Saoudi Arabia…) and the international interior design sector.
