Mathilde Jonquière – Mosaicist

Île-de-France –  1967

Mathilde Jonquière is a mosaicist. After studying at the Académie Charpentier in 1987, she obtained a diploma in interior architecture from the Camondo school in 1992. In 1997, while working for the JB CREMNITZER agency, she discovered mosaics. This first contact with the art of mosaic has led her to self-training and the opening of her own workshop in Paris in 2000.

Since then, she has been creating mosaics inspired by various artistic movements (Art Deco, Art Nouveau) and practices (sculpture, painting, street art, dance, etc.), for luxury brands, decorators and designers…

Research and innovation

Mathilde Jonquière designs and creates large-scale mosaics. These are composed of several precious materials (marble, Venetian enamels, gold tesserae, etc.) giving the frescoes textural and material effects. Combining technical knowledge and artistic sensibility, she offers made-to-measure projects while seeking out new scales for mosaics. Her aim is to “dust off” the general public’s perception of her know-how.

Transmission

Mathilde Jonquière  is keen to pass on her know-how. Every year, she welcomes apprentices and works with a team of four mosaicists whom she trains in advance. To promote her skills to the public, she exhibits for JEMA and other art fairs.

Fondation Rémy Cointreau has supported Mathilde Jonquière in 2021 for her new creative project. It involves learning to work with hard stones and incorporating them into her compositions.
