Doris Becker

Doris Becker, born in Luxembourg, lives and works in Fischbach. She studied at several schools and academies in Luxembourg, Belgium and Germany, followed by specialist training courses. Since 2006, she has been a regular participant in international exhibitions and competitions, and takes part in international symposia. Her work has won several awards, is included in various collections and has been published.

The ceramic sculptures in the '0rigins' series symbolise the mythical and magical act of being born and reborn. The egg has been the main theme of Doris's artistic work for some time now. The 'egg', with its perfect shape, is present in many mythologies and cultural and religious traditions as a symbol of creation, productivity and expressing the birth and reproduction of new life. The traces and various fractures and wounds on the surface or inside the egg reveal this permanent and destructive metamorphosis of our territories...

Clay, his favourite material, allows him to metamorphose the unique shape of the egg. The breaks and cracks on the outside and/or inside reflect archaeological traces or legends.
