Graduated in 2017 from the École Nationale Supérieure des Arts Visuels de La Cambre in Belgium, Héloïse Rival (Paris, 1990) approached the world of mural ceramics in 2018.
 

Her first encounter with this expressive medium emerged spontaneously during a group exhibition in Brussels exploring the concept of the frame in art. Since then, Rival has established herself as a ceramic artist, finding in the material a space for freedom and personal expression.

Her creations combine craftsmanship, bas-relief, and painting, giving life to works that tell stories and build evocative scenes. Ceramics thus becomes a vehicle for a dreamlike, ironic, and visionary language. Her aesthetic skillfully bridges the ancient and the contemporary.
 

Today, Héloïse Rival is represented by several galleries in Paris, Brussels, and Antwerp. Her work continues to stand out for its ability to transform ceramics into a visual narrative, where craftsmanship, imagination, and a contemporary vision of the decorative merge with original refinement.

 

Arte in Salotto has represented Héloïse Rival exclusively since 2025 and was the first gallery to present her work in Italy.
