About the artworkKnown for defying artistic categorisations and ideologies, Yolanda Fièvre emphasised spontaneity over strict academic approaches. Her oeuvre, which spans more than sixty years, includes a series of reliefs created in the 1950s and 1960s. They were constructed from carefully arranged natural objects such as driftwood, stones, shells and clay – often enclosed in small, intricate boxes. Sometimes they were populated by small figures, giving the impression of representing obscure miniature cities. With roots in both Dadaist and Surrealist practices, she sought to explore the mystical and esoteric by constructing these intimate, enclosed spaces that evoke both the fantastic and the spiritual.
