"Compared to my Ocean Acidification artwork, Coastal Development has a more hopeful vibe to it, as nature is taking over excessive coastal development, turning the tables. Humans are gone and nature is thriving again. It’s also a reminder that coastal developments directly compete with natural growth, but unfairly so."

- Stephanie Kilgast

Inspired by natural forms, Stéphanie Kilgast’s artwork is an ode to nature and its current biodiversity. Plants, mushrooms, insects, and other animals encounter a vibrant swirl of colors under her brush or sculpting tools.

Since 2017, in her series “Discarded Objects”, she grows colorful organic sculptures on human-made objects, celebrating the beauty of nature in dialogue with humanity, questioning the lost balance between human activities and nature.
Her work has a cheerful post-apocalyptic feel to it, a reassuring reminder that nature has the capacity to grow back if we only let it.

Her work has been exhibited in North America, Asia, Australia, and Europe. French, Born in 1985, Frankfurt am Main, Germany currently resides in Vannes, France.
