Milène Guermont

Milène Guermont is born in 1981 in Normandy. Her offices are in London and Paris. Thanks to her diplomas in both engineering and art, she associates hi technology with the power of poetic imagination. Milene's work as an artist has led her to create a new generation of concrete that brings elegance, technical innovation and a human touch to the familiar grey divider of urban space. Her Polysensual Concrete reacts to each individual's unique magnetic field by emitting dashes of bright light and soft echoes from the voices of nature, from falling rain to the electric whispers of passing clouds. Her work has been exhibited at Art Basel Miami Beach, Art Paris, New Art Center New York, Salt Lake Art Center, National Archives of France, Cartier Foundation with the architect Claude Parent, Nuit Blanche Paris, Musée de la Chasse et de la Nature... Additionally, Milene creates both publicly and privately commissioned works. In June 2014, her sculpture INSTANTS was installed permanently in front of the sea on Utah Beach to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the landings in the breach n°00 "Atlantic Wall", Utah Beach during World War II. Furthermore, in honor of this event, her FREE-PLANETS have been ordered as gifts for top figures throughout the world. In 2015, she was the "coup de cœur" of DDESSIN (Paris Contemporary Drawing Fair), had a solo video show in the permanent collections of the Fine Arts Museum of Caen, and was selected by the international jury of "2015: International Year of Light" launched by UNESCO while MINI AGUA was shown at the Villa Datris - Foundation for sculpture.

Since March 2017, Milene has represented France at the World Federation of Engineering Organizations (WFEO), UNESCO's partner.
