Alice Riehl
Alice Riehl Ceramics
Porcelain Artist
Alice Riehl is a French artist specializing in porcelain wall art and mural installations. Her work blends delicate craftsmanship with inspiration from nature and French decorative arts, producing dreamlike, textured scenes.
Her porcelain murals are permanently installed in prestigious locations such as Chaumet store on Place Vendôme in Paris, Intercontinental and Four Seasons Hotels in Marseille and Athens, in the Palazzo Pamphilj in Rome and in the vineyards Château Dauzac in Bordeaux or Jordan in California. Riehl’s artwork is featured in private collections internationally.
Design Approach and Inspiration
Alice Riehl’s porcelain murals merge French decorative arts, natural imagery, and contemporary influences to create visual narratives that exist between the organic and the constructed. Drawn to porcelain’s softness, luminosity, and inherent unpredictability, she embraces hand modeling as her core technique, allowing for expressive freedom and unique distortions during firing. Inspired by medieval tapestries, Riehl crafts expansive wall pieces where delicate textures—like lace pressed into clay—transform into abstract botanicals and marine forms. Each work balances movement, asymmetry, and intricate detail, encouraging both immersive and intimate engagement with the piece.
