Muriel Persil
MURIEL PERSIL
Born in Paris (France), in 1966. She lives and works in Occitanie.
Biography
Muriel Persil studied first at the Beaux-arts workshops of the city of Paris as well as at the Académie de la Grande Chaumière and at the studio of the painter Sotomayor where she developed her taste for anatomy, the nude and portraiture.
As a scenic painter, trained and qualified at the CNACFAG, she has for many years exercised this professional activity in parallel with that of a painter, exhibiting regularly in France (Paris, Montpelier, Céret, Perpignan) and in Spain (Barcelona, Girona).
In 2013, having moved to the south of France, she turned forward ceramics pratice in autodidact. Since, she focus her research on ceramic sculpture where she can explore the central themes as relations to the nature, death as crossing, elements as space of metamorphosis.
