Charlotte de Charentenay (b. 1976) graduated from the University of Lyon II in France with a BA in Art History in 1997. Alongside her university studies, she first explored sculpture through evening classes at Les Beaux-Arts. She later furthered her artistic education at the Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts in Singapore in 2011-12.
A move to Hong Kong in 2013 led her to discover ceramics, which quickly became central to her artistic practice. During this period, she also became involved with the Sprouts Foundation, running weekly ceramics workshops for children.
Returning to Singapore in 2016, Charlotte found an enduring source of inspiration in nature. Her work explores recurring themes of displacement and the loss of connection with one’s roots - a search for bearings, soil and centre of gravity. Through ceramics, she develops a language in which gentleness, fragility and strength coexist. Sculpting becomes a way of writing a feeling or drawing an emotion, giving physical form to sensations that the words cannot always express.
In 2025, Charlotte expanded her practice through training in wheel throwing in Paris, bringing a more technical and gestural approach to her work while continuing to develop her sculptural language.
Now based in London, Charlotte continues to develop her practice. Most recently, she exhibited at Curated Room #2 - Ceramics curated by Anne Sophie Latil and Charlotte Biltgen during Paris Design Week (2026).
