Inspired by nature, I try to infuse poetry and joy in our daily lives."

Born in 1977, Ingrid Kravitz is a self-taught French artist.
Passionate and curious, she first worked for the international print journalism: ELLE International, The Times & Sunday Times in London and The International New York Times at the Paris office. All through these years she took various plastic art courses.
Driven by her passion for interior design, she took courses at the Boulle school in Paris in art, furniture and housing history, and free-hand perspective drawing. These courses marked the start of her retraining as an interior designer in Paris, a self-employed activity she ran for 4 years.
During these years she kept exploring material and got introduced to wood marquetry at the Boulle school and carpentry at Make-ici in Montreuil.
In 2023 she left Paris for the French countryside where she set up her studio.
Since 2024, she has been creating unique pieces made of ceramic plaster dyed in the mass and poured into molds of her own making.
Her plaster elements are sometimes engraved to create patterns or used as mosaic or marquetry to bring her ideas to life.
Color is central to her work. She has developed her own range of pastel colors by mixing natural and synthetic pigments.
“Each piece is a new challenge, with sometimes new manufacturing techniques to be figured out.”
