My approach as a textile artist and painter consists in including the nature in my creations and painting with the light...
Geneviève Levivier’s approach combines the sensibilities of a contemporary visual artist with personal innovative technologies. By mixing the artistic gesture, organic materials, pigments and eco-friendly self-invented paint binders and bio-sourced fibres, with sometimes digital process, Levivier defends a creation freely inspired by a mix of textile know-how and pictorial techniques. 
Playing with light and relief's effects, the rich sensory artistry of her work literally shines through, such as textile stained glass, and demonstrates Levivier’s ability to perform a material metamorphosis as living materials (eggshells, flowers, wood) that have lived one life are reborn. 
The abstract colored or monochrome  interlaces composing her works make echoes to the aesthetics of nature in its wild and poetic aspect. By integrating real roses and old species of medicinal plants to pigments and fibres, she reinterprets the art history theme of the Vanitas, as well as the symbols of tapestry, embroidery or lace, with a sense of surprise and poetry of the materials in her painting-tapestries or textile sculptures.
Her work proposes a contemplative vision through a meandering alchemy of materials, openworks and projected shadows wich together evoke a play of light and natural elements, refer to the intrinsic link between man and nature, and offer a unending contemplative vision.       

After having created for 10 years, with her studio A+ZDesign®, the most refined and surprising textiles for the most prestigious fashion houses - Dior, Alaïa, Gaultier, Balenciaga... - Geneviève Levivier is nowadays devoted to the creation of her contemporary tapestries and artwork in harmony with a place or a theme, the surrounding architecture, the living nature and the natural light, performing the idea of Synaesthesia through her unique way of transforming materials.  As such, her work, recognizable at first glance, has received significant international recognition. She’s regularly invited to present solo or group exhibition - Museum of Sculpture of Sao Paulo, Triennale of Milan, Universal Exhibition of Milan, Hong-Kong Design Week, Museum of Design Gent,
Swiss and New-York Galleries…
