Art as Celebration

Posted on , by l'artiste Viginie SCHROEDER

Art has always been for me a celebration, a breath that transforms matter into pure emotion. Today, I invite you to discover my latest artistic adventure: the dreamlike birth of my Champagne Bottle Sculpture. More than a piece, it is the promise of a singular journey, combining elegance, audacity, and surrealism. Let me take you behind the scenes of this unprecedented creation, designed to make you dream, feel… and collect.

Where the Inspiration Comes From

The idea stems from the fascinating marriage between art and universal symbols of celebration. Since childhood, I have watched champagne as a timeless totem: the bubbles, the golden light, that unique sound at the moment of opening. Quickly, the iconic shape of the bottle became an ideal showcase for my style and sculptural explorations. Combining champagne’s luxury with my visual universe was merely a matter of time, desire, and daring.

Why I Love Sculpture

To sculpt is to touch space—to give body to my emotions. After years dedicated to painting, the need for volume, relief, and tactile sensuality became evident. Sculpture lets me play with light and offer the viewer a life-size encounter. Each gesture is instinctive yet precise, transforming the object into a living entity. My Champagne Bottle Sculpture is the alchemy between spontaneity and careful calculation, resulting in something designed to intrigue, marvel, and invite contemplation.

The Meeting of Art and Champagne

A champagne bottle is not merely decorative: it’s a symbol of sharing, dream, and transgression. I wanted to explore its mysteries, drawing from its rich artistic history. From the nineteenth century onward, it has fascinated poster artists, painters, and creators. Its elegant shape, shifting reflections, and collective imaginary make it an endless muse.

Why My Bottle Will Be Sublime and Surrealist

My goal isn’t to reproduce but to enhance. I deconstruct the classic silhouette to reveal hidden strength. Using collage, gilding, splashes, vibrant colors, dynamic contrasts—I inject all the hallmarks of my work. There are pop references, unexpected light play, dreamlike motifs, and hidden details—secrets for those who dare to explore. It is a hybrid object, straddling reality and dream, meant to seduce the eye but above all to awaken the collector’s imagination.

The Story Behind the Work: Dream into Matter

It began during a sleepless night; in the tranquility, I imagined champagne bubbles as a suspended ballet, a luminous dance escaping from the bottle. Enchanted, I sketched the first drafts at sunrise. Quickly, the vision of a three-dimensional sculpture imposed itself. I wanted to capture the moment where effervescence becomes eternal and magic unfolds.

Every step was filled with meaning: from paper concepts to material manipulation, through texture and experimentation with precious materials. I combined Cubist inspiration, surreal overtones, and artisan perfection, producing a piece inviting reverie, pleasure, and discovery.

Why Be Curious About This Innovation?

Owning a signed sculpture means gaining a fragment of innovation, a piece of history, a portion of dream. I set out to create a work transcending decoration—an invitation to curiosity. Every angle and reflection unveils new details: reinvented luxury codes, nods to modern art, references to champagne’s storied history. To acquire such a piece is to join those who embrace the extraordinary and prefer meaning over monotony. Sometimes, you only need to take the leap to turn daily life into celebration.

The Secrets of Creation: Why Learn More

Each sculpture carries secrets—a creative alchemy nurtured in the intimacy of my studio. Every material is chosen with care: glass, metal, colored resins, perhaps gold leaf—each element has its purpose. The whole is assembled, sanded, polished, until it generates that stunning feeling of wonder. My pieces are interactive, awakening the senses through sight, touch, even sound as light plays with the forms. Want to discover the secrets behind the scenes?

To collect is to embrace a waking dream, to offer loved ones a glimpse of magic made tangible. Supporting independent creation is to welcome passion, commitment, and humanity at its core.
