Mathilde Rosier was born in 1973 in Paris. She lives and works in Burgundy, France.

The works of Mathilde Rosier draw on her interest in the physical and psychological experience of ancient rites and rituals. In 2012, she received a Fellowship from the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs, where she did an anthropological research about the groups who practice magic in present day western society. Her art often embodies fictional offshoots or parts of a narrative, where constellations of self-made costumes, mystic representations of animals and nature often seem like props, an abandoned stage set, or solitary protagonists of an unfamiliar yet compelling reality. Through the combination of painting, film, dance and theatre, Rosier constructs oneiric situations that allow the beholder to lose any sense of space and time, opening a portal between conscious and unconscious realms.
