Pauline Loctin is a folding artist and creative director working at the intersection of craftmanship & contemporary narrative. Through paper and textile, she explores heritage and sensory experience, creating works that bridge the tactile and the emotional. Trained as a classical musician, her practice is informed by rhythm, composition, and collaborative multidisciplinary creation.
Her work spans intimate sculptures to large-scale immersive installations for cultural institutions and luxury brands internationally—including the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, Bvlgari, LVMH Métiers d'Arts, The New York Times Magazine, Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, and Four Seasons.
The studio offers bespoke sculptural commissions, spatial installations and scenography, brand activations and workshops, hospitality design, and creative direction for multidisciplinary projects. Each work is crafted to transform spaces into narratives—where material, light, and form invite pause, presence, and connection.

Artistic Vision
I am a sculptor of folds, transforming paper and fabric through pleating, painting, and colour into immersive installations that explore memory, identity, and transformation. Rooted in craft and heritage, my work bridges art, performance, and design, creating environments where audiences can feel, reflect, and connect. I collaborate with dancers, musicians, institutions, and brands who value excellence and authenticity, ensuring each partnership tells a meaningful story and offers new ways to experience materiality, emotion, and beauty.
