Passionate about artistic creation, Christine Moquet began her career with Christian Dior. She then spent several years working as an interior designer on projects for public spaces, boutiques and concept stores.
Attracted to fine crafts, she pursued a parallel career in enamel and porcelain, before directing her career towards the creation of contemporary jewelry and decorative pieces, developing her own personal collections.
To acquire the techniques needed to create jewelry, she trained in Jewelry making at the Ecole Boulle and obtained the CAP de Bijouterie Joaillerie .
After several years’ training with renowned ceramists, Christine Moquet received professional training that enabled her to launch her own collections of jewelry and porcelain objects.
A multidisciplinary approach
Christine Moquet defines herself as a multidisciplinary artist. In her artistic and aesthetic pursuits, she touches on several disciplines: fashion, architecture, photography… She combines porcelain and metal for a sculpture, metal and porcelain for a contemporary piece of jewelry, textile and porcelain for an ornament, etc. The constant need to be able to create her pieces from A to Z has led her to learn different techniques, which she combines by choosing the material or materials (porcelain, metal, etc.) best suited to her new composition. In this way, she creates pieces that are always different and unique.
She plays on the contrast between materials – the mattness of cookie and the soft transparency of enamel – while working porcelain to the breaking point to reveal its transparency. Her sensibility is expressed in a poetic universe inspired by fashion and nature. She explores the theme of travel and the memories associated with it, the discovery of places that have marked her and whose creations remain the privileged witness. She reinvents her own stories through the use of photos and graphics. She likes to call her pieces “fragments de vie”.
