Pauline is an emerging jeweller of Franco-Spanish origin, based in Montreal.
She develops a practice rooted in contemporary jewellery, where the jewel becomes a space for sculptural and symbolic exploration. Her work is characterized by organic forms, often inspired by living matter, natural elements, and processes of transformation. She is currently in her third and final year at the École de joaillerie de Montréal, where she cultivates a sensitive and rigorous practice, seeking a balance between traditional craftsmanship and contemporary experimentation.
Some of her pieces have been exhibited during the last two graduate exhibitions of the École de joaillerie de Montréal, and her work has been recognized with two excellence awards: the Excellence Award in Gemmology and the Excellence Award for Artistic Approach and Quality of Work.
Her first collection, Morphea, has been selected for distribution beginning in June 2026 at Materia, the gallery-shop of the Maison des métiers d’art de Québec, a centre dedicated to research, production, and dissemination in the field of fine craft.
Her work engages in a sensitive reflection on the body, materiality, and the connections between culture, nature, and identity.
