Clara Imbert (born in 1994) is a French visual artist living and working in Paris.

 

A graduate with honors from Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design, Clara Imbert stands out through a practice that challenges mechanization processes. In her studio, she shapes metal, stone, or clay through plays of force and balance, generating intangible tensions that unfold within the exhibition space.

 

In search of pure forms and ideal precision, Clara Imbert constructs a visual vocabulary inspired by both science and the sacred. Lines, circles, and triangles form a repertoire of fundamental figures, serving as the basis for rigorous preparatory drawings before taking shape in the interplay of material and void.

 

Charged with symbolic references, her sculptures and installations exist at the crossroads of temporalities: they evoke archaic archetypes while projecting futuristic visions. Between totemic artifacts, obsolete instruments, and metaphysical objects, each piece asserts itself as an enigmatic presence to be deciphered.

 

The notion of the symbol is thus essential in understanding Clara Imbert’s work: it is the point of convergence between a transcendental ideal—evoking universal, spiritual, or philosophical aspirations—and an empirical reality, rooted in materiality and sensory experience. By reactivating our heritage of symbolic forms within a contemporary language, Clara Imbert contributes to the perpetuation of a collective memory that redefines our experience of the world.
