Sève is an interdisciplinary Swiss and Belgian artist working in painting, drawing, installation and digital.
In her artworks, she concentrates on transcending the classical boundary between the work and the viewer. The main feature of her art is interactivity. The key words that supports the concept is being in interaction (be together), variation (be different) and activity (be active). Sève's name for this experience is« intervariactivity ».
She want's to integrate the viewer into her art in a direct and tactile way. She combines this experience with a strong digital (virtual) focus and physical (real) way, through works on canvas, in situ installations, performances, happening or digital works and projects. Sève's interactive artworks engage the public in the artistic process in order to have an impact on their way of thinking about art and concepts. Her goal is to enable the viewer to understand the research and questioning that an artist asks himself during the process of experimentation and creation.
She has a predilection for mixed media processes including acrylic, pastel chalk, photo-transfert, drawing, cyanotype....
For the installations, she particularly appreciates in-situ installations that encourage experimentation by the public. In addition, for some of her artworks, she proposes interactive virtual duplicates with which the visitor can create his own composition and then participate in some art projects link to our relationship between the real and the virtual.
Sèves artworks thus become plural, personal, variable, changing, permanently reversible and therefore multiple. Each artwork, although unique, contains several possibilities because each modification made by the spectator induces a new design of the artwork.
She was introduced to arts from young age through Arno's Stern pedagogy based on freedom, sharing and non-judgmental experience. Later, she decideds to follow academic studies on Art History, Geography and contemporary History at University of Fribourg. She supplemented her master’s degree with a high school teaching diploma. She taughts for several years Plastic Arts and Art History. In parallel to her teaching job, she continued her education by taking several seminars and workshops at the Ceruleum Art School in Lausanne.
In the last 4 years, She fully devoted to the creation as well as the promotion of her artistic work in Switzerland and internationally. She has exhibited in Switzerland and abroad (Hong Kong, Italy, Argentina, ...) in Museum, Biennale (Bienalsur 2021, Biennale of Larnaca) ... or during residencies as in La Paternal Espacio Proyecto in Buenos Aires or ChaNorth Residency in State of New York.
Sève was nominated in the "Installation and Sculpture" category of the 14th International Arte Laguna Prize.
