Mura

Plants have been a major theme in art history for several decades.

In his practice, Pierre MURA reproduces infinitely the forms of the plant in motion. Halfway between figuration and abstraction, he seeks in this representation to transcribe the phenomenon of life’s development. Through this experience, he seeks to draw closer to the source of life which is inexhaustible and manifests itself in everything. The Nietzschean will is the force that allows the plant inscribed in the crack of the asphalt to grow and persist in its being.

His creations invite to a silent contemplation, a return to the essential. She invites us to look down, to lose ourselves humbly in the insignificance, to feel the poetry of the passing time. In this apparent fragility lies life, the soul — one that does not need to be pushed further, for it is already there, present, in the moment. Emerging and self-taught artist, he has participated in recent years in several exhibitions in Paris, Montreal and New York.

fougère

Ancestral plant, present for millions of years, it embodies the primordial force of the plant kingdom. Through this series, I invite the viewer to immerse himself in the very essence of the plant, to feel its vital breath. The fractal form of its deployment has guided my work, inspiring a representation of the inner tension that animates it. Each leaf, each stem, seems to emerge with persistence, reflecting a silent effort, a will for growth, where every particle reveals the depth of life that animates it.

Geranium

On the window sill of the workshop, a pot of geranium remains. Each leaf, in a secret and graceful movement, unfolds one after the other, like a confidence whispered by nature. From this vegetal choreography a soft poetry is born, a series of suspended moments, where the subtle beauty of the world comes to life in the hushed silence of everyday life.

Ornement contemporains

Central theme in the history of art, the plant has seen its presence fading with the advent of concrete in the field of architecture and creation. With his career as an ornamental sculptor, he seeks to reintroduce the language of plant forms into this series, giving them a universal voice. Through his works, he explores how these once ubiquitous natural motifs can reconnect with our daily lives and resonate with each other, reaffirming their place in contemporary aesthetics.
