Valérie Moreau (VALEM)
Born in 1975, Valem discovered sculpture as a model during her studies. Having graduated as an engineer in 1999, and now a teacher-researcher, she has remained faithful to sculpture and now gives it priority. Fascinated by modelling, Valem works the earth vigorously, varying her techniques and finishes according to the subjects studied. She explores the living, human and animal, and the beings she sculpts, whether they are fleeting encounters, pieces of intimacy or inner journeys, are imbued with her emotions.
In the article "The generous massages of Valem" published in Art Magazine International of March-April 2018, Anouck Etcheverry writes "the postures and attitudes that the artist chooses to present always express a feeling, sometimes subtle but always present, which enters and never leaves us. (…) This love of life in its most “magical” form, Valem transmits it to us, reminding us that human beings and animals are part of a whole that finally vibrates thanks to it in harmony. ”.
Although drawing, then sculpture, have been part of her life for many years, she really began her career as a sculptor in 2018, in partnership with the Galerie Bénédicte Giniaux, by participating in various fairs and exhibitions in several cities in France: Lille Art Up, Bergerac, Rennes, Paris…

Biographie de Valem
Née en 1975, Valem découvre la sculpture en tant que modèle durant ses études. Diplômée ingénieur en 1999, devenue enseignant-chercheur, elle est restée fidèle à la sculpture et lui donne maintenant priorité. Fascinée par le modelage, Valem travaille la terre avec vigueur en faisant varier ses techniques et ses finitions selon les sujets étudiés. Elle explore le vivant, humain comme animalier, et les êtres qu’elle sculpte, qu’ils soient rencontres fugaces, morceaux d’intimité ou voyages intérieurs sont empreints de ses émotions.
Dans l’article « Les généreux modelages de Valem » paru dans Art Magazine International de mars-avril 2018, Anouck Etcheverry écrit « les postures et attitudes que l’artiste choisit de présenter expriment toujours un sentiment, parfois subtil mais toujours présent, qui nous pénètre et ne nous quitte plus. (…) Cet amour de la vie dans ce qu’elle a de plus « magique », Valem nous le transmet, nous rappelant qu’êtres humains et animaux font partie d’un tout qui vibre enfin grâce à elle en harmonie. ».
Bien que le dessin, puis la sculpture, fassent partie de sa vie depuis de nombreuses années, elle commence réellement sa carrière de sculpteur en 2018, en partenariat avec la Galerie Bénédicte Giniaux, en participant à différents salons et expositions dans plusieurs villes de France : Lille Art Up, Bergerac, Rennes, Paris…
