Solenne Jolivet is a French textile artist based in Paris, France. Five years ago she decided to quit her dream job at Hermès, where she was fabric buyer, to become a free-lance embroiderer and artist, she has since developed her vision of textile and embroidery with passion, patience and conviction.
Solenne is laureate of the Fondation Banque Populaire since 2021 - a foundation that support artisans, and member of the initiative “Le Cercle de l’Art”. Last year, she exhibited her work to Révélations (Internationale Biennale of Arts and Crafts), in the Grand Palais Éphémère.
She wants to paint and draw with yarns, inventing new ways with textile, without any tools, machines, just with the raw material. She enjoys to work with colour, in reference to the incredible textile universal patrimony, and because she find in colour energy and sensibility.
"Benefiting from a double training (Creation at ESAA Duperré and Management at the Institut Français de la Mode), I have been developing since 2016 - a singular and contemporary vision of embroidery through an artistic career and ambitions in the fashion sector and interior architecture. Laureate of the Banque Populaire Foundation (2021)."
