The line builds everything. Charged with a symbolic, representative or spatial force, the line structures Joëlle's artistic universe which she calls alternately *ExtraWelt* *Fields* or *paysages recomposés*

The mains titles of her artseries.

The line is also paths, trajectories, the line has a beginning and an end in architecture. The line is also colored, textured, infinite, curved, straight, dotted. It becomes the conceptual and aesthetic foundation of the art of Joëlle Cabanne.

Like Ferdinand Hodler in front of the grandiose of the Swiss mountains and lakes, she dives into the colored sensation of the landscape, in the effects of mists, in the lines of crests... thus making appear the landscapes as expressionist metaphors of vital energy.

Joëlle Cabanne is part of the Sustainable Art Market (SAM) program, which engages artists in a process of ecological transition within  their  artistic practice. Each artist in the program develops a unique and solidary Partnership with an Association of support to the environment. As a SAM artist, Joëlle Cabanne collaborates and donates 10% of her sales to the association Pro Natura Switzerland.
 

Joëlle’s mediums are multiple, she creates her own tools from Balsa wood (flexible wood). Her practice goes from drawing to photography, cutting or inks on canvas and many others. Her series are always composed of several media (painting, drawings, and inks) Since 2017 she explore  Ink practice & by the  blue indigo.

In 2021 she began to grows indigo-trees so that she can create her own ink and shades of blue ink and learn the traditional way from indigo seed to ink production.

In the Japanese tradition each shade has its own name: kamenozoki (pale blue), asagi (pale blue-green), hanada (azure blue), nando (dark blue-green), ai (indigo, Prussian blue), kon (dark blue), and kachiiro (dark indigo, blue-black).
 

Joëlle Cabanne a swiss female artist born in Geneva in 1976. After an Artistic Maturity at Voltaire College in 1997, she study Art History and Cinema History at the University of Lausanne and Geneva (1997-2000).

Passionate about architecture, she continued her education at the EPFL (2000-2002) and then turned to the Haute École d'Art et de design Genève HEAD where she obtained her Bachelor of Art in 2005.

Since then she works as an architect in Geneva and pursues her artistic activity in parallel.  During 7 years she taught the architecture  as well as volume and drawing at the CFPArts in Geneva. Insatiable, she pursues her path as an architect in parallel with her work as a visual artist, since she co-founded dasBureau office of architecture and design.

Today Artist's Studio and Architecture's Office share the same space and grow together in symbiosis.
