Elisabeth Decobert

Born on 3 June 1968 in Talence, Gironde, the artist has followed a rich artistic training course, which began at the Villa Arson, an international art and research school in Nice, followed by the École des arts décoratifs in Strasbourg and culminating with a degree in Art History from the Faculty of Montpellier.

Decobert is very well prepared on both a practical and theoretical level, having trained in the techniques of blown glass with Alain BEGOU and pasta vitrea with Jaromir RYBAK at Sars poterie. Their mastery extends to engraving and is complemented by personal research in painting and sculpture.

Their career is underlined by numerous exhibitions, starting with their participation in ‘Étoiles de la peinture’ in 1989, various European contemporary painting meetings in 1990 and the remarkable Artissimo in Villeneuve-lès-Avignon. His works have also been exhibited at the Saga Grand Palais in Paris and the Galerie l'Utopie in Uzès, among other prestigious venues.

The artist has also made significant contributions to the field of glass sculpture, with exhibitions at Galerie Art et Création in Lyon, Galerie Anliker in Berne, Galerie Espace 54 in Nancy and Galerie Christel in Limoges, enriching the artistic landscape with his innovative works.
