Charlotte Dauphin was born in Paris, France.

She is a cross-disciplinary artist whose practice encompasses performance, filmmaking and fine arts.

Charlotte initially trained as a ballet dancer. She then studied communication (MA – Edhec, Fr), art history (MA – Courtauld, University of London, UK) and performance (MA – Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts, UK). She has continuously worked with different forms of visual expression as an artist, mostly sculpture (bronze, resin, body adornments/jewellery), performance (dance, music, theatre), filmmaking and photography. They form the basis of her artistic practice.

Her work is informed and characterised by her poetic thinking, sculptural rendering and architectural constructions. It investigates time, memory, intimacy and materiality, through transformation, duration and space. 

In parallel to her work as an artist, she acts as the artistic director of Dauphin, her namesake brand. Her creations have garnered international recognition, regularly appearing in the international editions of Vogue, Numéro, Harper’s Bazaar, Vanity Fair, but also in national publications, and independent magazines (AnOther, Dazed, etc.). It regularly appears on the likes of Billie Eillish, Juliette Binoche, Alicia Vikander, princess Charlene, Margot Robbie, or Selena Gomez.
