Virginie Peyre

  • Mixed media
  • France

Virginie Peyre, contemplative and solitary by nature, is a wonderer who refuses to be cured. Rural and deeply rooted in her biotope of Mont Ventoux, she feeds on beauty.Nature fulfills her, and creation has become her way of being in the world. Since childhood, she has developed a taste for DIY, drawing, and writing.Professionally, after studying textile design at a higher level, she creates prints, embroiders for haute couture, ventures into graphic design and illustration: a true jack-of-all-trades! At the same time, she exhibits her creations and participates in textile art competitions, a practice she has maintained since the 1980s.Virginie Peyre has many strings to her bow, but textiles are her favorite playground, where she finds the greatest freedom. Her ever-growing love for life overflows and joyfully manifests in her work.

Virginie Peyre was 22 and finishing her studies at the Arts Appliqués Duperré in Paris when she conceived the Kimono, which revealed her fascination with faces across time and culture. Her first wall hanging, “Abracadabra”, was born after a year of stifling work as en employee: it was for her like a child’s first breath at birth. After quitting this job she went through some kind of resurrection and four other pieces followed, allowing her to catch her breath. Then she plunged into the enriching experience of motherhood, which limited her time for creation, although this period was rich in new experiences. In 2016, “Gratitude” followed a dozen works that she was lucky enough to sell. Feeling at home as an artist and a mother, she was tired but fulfilled. Following the death of a dear friend, she felt the need to build a tomb in her honor to spend a little more time with her. “Voluptés” recounts her discovery of Biodanza (a personal development method based on bodily expression), which transformed her relationship with her own body and opened the gates to spirituality. “Divin vivant” expresses the closeness she feels with the plant world and her compassion for suffering plants. “Dame nature” marks a decisive turning point when she chose to fully embrace her identity as an artist without curbing her creativity. New venue: discover the Saint-Blaise Chapel! Built in the 11th century, this historical jewel has recently been renovated to host worship services and, exceptionally, exhibitions. How to get to the Chapelle Saint-Blaise: You can get there on foot from the Sainte-Croix-aux-Mines Exhibition Center, by bike along the bike path linking Sainte-Marie and Sainte-Croix, or by car (parking is very limited in front of the building, so prefer to park in Sainte-Croix town center and reach the exhibition in a few steps).
