Graduating from the École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts de Paris in 2002, she chose cardboard sculpture as her preferred medium, transforming this humble, banal material into majestic, spellbinding works. "What I love about cardboard is that it's not a material you respect. You can rip everything out, start again, and at the same time use a constraint to invent". Drawing her inspiration from nature, mythology and architecture, Eva Jospin creates works that are often monumental and immersive, inviting viewers to wander and reflect. Each piece is a testament to her exceptional talent and ability to transform cardboard into complex, three-dimensional creations. Among his most emblematic works, the Forêt series, from which our piece is taken, stands out for its complexity and realism. Sculpted with the precision of a goldsmith, Eva Jospin's Forêt is a three-dimensional creation in which the corrugated edges of the cardboard are transformed to take on the appearance of tree bark. The result is a striking trompe-l'œil: a dense, deep forest that questions our relationship with nature. By exploring La Forêt, viewers are invited to immerse themselves in a landscape that seems to have come straight out of a fairy tale, reminding us of the interconnection between man and nature, and prompting reflection on the human impact on our environment.
