Sculptures
Idole Collection
Artistic Exploration
Human figures shaped throughout the ages now appear to us as enigmas—intriguing, disconcerting, imbued with a presence that time has not erased.
This connection to traces, to the intimate, to our humanity continues to fascinate. Who created them, and to convey what? This question led the artist to wonder: What would a female idol scuplted from ceramic—shaped by the artist’s life experiences and craftsmanship—look like?
Aesthetics, Materials, and Technique
In terms of its shape, the Idole Collection offers a 360-degree view. With its two faces that contrast and complement each other, it stands vertically on a base, allowing it to be positioned at any desired angle.
These creations are technically demanding pieces that reflect Charlotte Leroux’s love of a challenge, which she cultivated during her years as an engineer.
Each piece took time—to discover, experiment, start over, and refine.
Artistic Interpretation:
An abstract vision ultimately took shape in the round form of the belly, moving beyond traditional representations of femininity. What the artist has put into it fades into the background behind what the viewer may project onto it: a purely graphic exploration of forms and contrasts, a symbol of the self-absorption unique to humans, a space where beauty is embodied, a place that harbours what bothers us, a wound that is forever present, or even a shell embodying a future.

Wall Scupture
Miroitement Collection
Artistic Exploration
The Miroitement Collection originated from an encounter: a deep, mesmerising glaze, flecked with flashes of blue, and a rounded shape that evokes the beach pebbles of the Baie des Anges, where Charlotte Leroux grew up. Unlike the Idole Collection, it was the material itself that led the way here: a serendipitous collision between technique and memory.
Aesthetics, Materials, and Technique
Each pebble is unique, crafted from grey grogged stoneware. Its front face, perfectly flat, traces that silent boundary between water and air. The glaze captures the moment: rays of light plunging into the sea, their fleeting, bluish reflections that never quite settle. This ceramic mural adapts to the available surface—in size, number, and composition.
Artistic Interpretation
As Charlotte Leroux moved away from the coast she realised the unique effect the sea had on her: its mere scent, as soon as she returned, was enough to soothe her. Contemplating the sea is a spectacle that never grows old. The water, depicted vertically, does not flow—and that is precisely the essence of this collection. An invitation to pause, to anchor oneself, in contrast to everything that rushes by and slips away from us.
After four prototypes, the first mural in this collection is nearing completion and will soon be on display here. If you have the chance, this is a work that’s worth seeing in person to fully appreciate the depth created by the glaze. Samples will be made available for purchase.

single-flower vase
Ombelle Collection
Artistic Exploration
There was one seemingly simple thing Charlotte Leroux wasn’t doing often enough: arranging a bouquet. Often, there just isn’t enough time. Yet all it takes is a branch from a pruned tree in the garden, or a flowering twig sticking out along a path.
The Ombelle Collection was born from this instinct—bringing a piece of the outdoors indoors, week after week, following the changing seasons.
Aesthetics, Materials, and Technique
This first iteration is crafted from white earthenware marbled with blue, finished with a transparent glaze.
Technically demanding, this collection features unique pieces, as by design, no two are exactly alike.
Artistic Interpretation
The vase is deliberately off-centre—mimicking a branch that the Mistral wind would have bent by blowing continuously, day after day. Irregular striations evoke this wind, which is part of daily life in Aix-en-Provence.
The gently curved forms highlight the irregularities of living shapes, amplified by the effect of shadows cast whenever a ray of sunlight illuminates the piece.
