“The road maps”
“During a stay in Togo in 2019, I was hiking in the bush and I discovered the dyeing properties of the young teak leaf. I had a sketchbook with me, I took the print using the sap.
Through my training as an agricultural engineer, I have always been passionate about plants and I have always admired the lines that make them up, often in a fairly mathematical, symmetrical, fractal way...
It is also this beauty that I wanted to capture by taking their prints during my wanderings or those of my friends who bring them back to me from their distant stays.
In the “Les souffles” series, I used cotinus inflorescences a lot because of their lightness and their extremely graphic appearance.
I was also strongly influenced by the reflections of the Martinican poet and essayist Monchoachi. According to him, the Western world, having desecrated nature, has considered it above all as a resource.
“The threat to the great natural balances was unstoppable since the Western model presents itself as a movement of rupture with nature, oriented towards the aggression of it (….) As a rupture also with the ancient wisdoms from which that they come” in contrast to many other peoples who have maintained a sacred connection with nature through their spiritualities.
In the book “The Forest and the Gods”, Lydia Cabrera explains that “It is through trees, plants, leaves, seeds that men trade with spirits and gods. Vegetation is the locus where the exchange of forces and signs between two worlds takes place.
It is these links, this spirituality between men and nature that I have tried to transcribe in my work.
The discovery of the documentary film “Moana” by Robert Flaherty, released in 1926, was an aesthetic shock and its remarks resonate with previous reflections. He is at the origin of the series “The Lost Paradises” where the leaf prints took up more space, saturated it, the characters represented are even tattooed with them. Which also corresponds to the feeling you get in a tropical forest where the vegetation completely envelops you, the plants themselves are of a different size from those in temperate regions.
Claude Levy Strauss said, upon arriving in Brazil: “Plants more copious than those of Europe raise stems and leaves which seem cut out of metal, so assured is their growth and so much their meaningful form seems sheltered. tests of time. Seen from the outside, this nature is of another order than ours, it manifests a higher degree of presence and permanence” (in Tristes tropiques)
Some drawings from the “Lost Paradises” series were made in Africa, others with leaves from Haiti. »

Haude Bernabé
Born in Brest, Haude Bernabé lives and works in Paris. Beyond the fact her works are part of many private collections in France and abroad, including the Cérès Franco contemporary art collection in Montolieu, what strikes through her works as a sculptor is its strength, almost as a “force majeur” of creation. Made of raw metal, cut, welded, tortured, as mixed, Haude Bernabé’s sculptures have this prominent presence of primal scream, scream behind which the mathematical composure is never far. Rushing into labeling that universe of her primitive art would be damageable to her highly personal approach without concession to trends or fashion. A universe in which the intuitive intelligence and the constructivist mindset mingle closely. Haude Bernabé’s work rises way beyond the divisions and categories in a current artistic landscape where cosmetic outweighs the power of the Ideas. Haude Bernabé’s work reminds us that beyond fads and “concept artists”, sculpture, Art is a matter of conviction, vision and emotion, which is to be sometimes as beautiful as a spring day, sometimes tortured, powerful as a storm over the sea and that these different states compose the meaning of it. “Haude au metal” by Kossi Aguessy, April 3 2014
