The image as language, collage as the architecture of the senses

A Belgian artist, she explores the boundaries between collage, photomontage, and relief. Her work lies at the intersection of image and matter, infusing collage with a sculptural presence and unexpected volume. By playing with layering, cutouts, and cast shadows, she transforms paper into an architecture in itself, a stratification of meaning and emotion.

The image is a language, a visual narrative where fragments of reality are reassembled to reveal dialogues between the visible and the invisible. Each collage is a meditative journey, a visual poetry that invites the viewer to travel and engage in dialogue with the images. Inspired by Jungian psychoanalysis and the archetypes of the collective unconscious, Dominique Gringoire conceives her works as windows opening onto other realities, where everyone can project their own story.

Rooted in the tradition of surrealism, her approach is based on the encounter between the unexpected and the disorienting, allowing images to express what eludes us. Her art questions our relationship with images, while bringing a form of harmony out of apparent chaos.
