Ferm Living Stories - Kethevane Cellard

“Even though I have never had a big budget to buy art, the pieces I own are either exchanged or bought from other artists. My collection is a mix of prints, a few originals, some ceramics and works on paper. The way I have arranged them in my home is subjective; they just feel right together, like they are in conversation with one another.” - Kethevane Cellard

I have just admired the latest inspiring editorial at Ferm Living about Kethevane Cellard. Kethevane is a Parisian artist who is renowned for her naturalistic sketches and wooden sculptures, which she creates in her distinctive home in Arcueil.

In this Parisian suburb lies this house - initially intended as a woodshop - when it was built over a century ago. Now, the industrial loft-style house with exposed red brick, large skylight windows and steel beams is the home of artist Kethevane and her family.

“After graduating from art school, Kethevane spent almost 15 years working a day job as a graphic designer while she attempted to find her artistic voice: “I was drawing and painting for years, but somehow I was never satisfied with the results. It was very frustrating. In 2015, I started carving wood for fun and was immediately taken by it. Something clicked in my imagination, and I started sketching shapes that I wanted to bring to life”.
