“Where the body ends, the name begins.” — Emma-Claire Fierce

Emma-Claire Fierce – A Biography in Three Currents

Emma-Claire Fierce is a French-born artist, author, and transdisciplinary researcher. Her work unfolds as a living system — weaving visual art, oceanic exploration, and quantum-alchemical research into a singular gesture of creation. Between the sacred and the cellular, between the sea and the script, she develops what she names Ocean Art: a cartography of movement, transformation, and sovereignty.

- Before 2018 

Premices: The Silent Accumulation

Before she becomes Emma-Claire Fierce, there is C — a woman reduced to a single letter, shaped within the confines of elite institutions and pop culture–infused lies. Emma-Claire Fierce had learnt to master the paradoxes of excellence, invisibility, and over-performance. So she collects: diplomas, experiences, injuries, and insights.

Yet beneath the surface, what grows in silence is not a résumé — it is a pressure. A tension. A yearning for truth that cannot be measured, nor performed.

The artwork already exists: hidden in notebooks, in unshared gestures, in the start of what will become extreme solitary swims across impossible waters.

This is the age of accumulation and dissonance — a phase where the world defines her before she names herself.

It ends in 2018, in the rupture of a personal and cellular collapse — the necessary crack through which the ocean enters.



2018–2023

The Alchemical Years: Expert of Inner Transmutation

In 2018, she breaks. And from that fracture emerges a name: Emma-Claire Fierce.

This middle phase is marked by radical experimentation — both artistic and existential. She becomes an expert in transmuting systems of knowledge, fusing ecology, biology, psychology, sociology, and an elevating dimension into the M.E.C.A. modelMechanics of Ecopsychosociobiology. This rare combination situates her within the singular lineage of scientific-artistic polymaths — visionaries like Leonora Carrington or Hilma af Klint, who challenged knowledge by embodying it.

In parallel, she begins to create powerful visual works with ink, salt, wax, digital layering, glass, and skin. She swims the oceans in full devotion — until injury (Kienböck syndrome) forces her to pause. From this pause is born a new movement: ocean-drawing-performances in mermaid form, acting both as rituals and as encoded scores of healing. Simultaneously, she writes the backstage chronicles of this passage in the OCEANS7VEN PRINCESS LANDS SAGA, a body of texts that weave the sacred with the systemic.

This is the era of high expertise and full embodiment — the phase where systems begin to leak, and she becomes the sovereign researcher of her own codes.

Since 2023 – 

Unity: The Era of C+++

Since 2023, Emma-Claire Fierce enters the phase of fusion — no longer divided between disciplines, roles, or names. Her art, body, voice, and scientific frameworks now pulse from one same breath. This is the time when form meets essence.

The name C+++, echoing the saga of her transformation, marks the full emergence of her mythic and sovereign identity: a being who once was C, and who now creates through Emma-Claire Fierce.

In this era, her work no longer represents; it embodies. It becomes site, skin, and signature all at once.

At the core of this phase is the monumental OCEANS7VEN SW(E)[E][A]THEART Collection — a transoceanic expedition across Small Island Developing States (SIDS), combining aquatic performance, material creation, and narrative embodiment. Each crossing gives birth to three unique art pieces: the sketch, the act, and the altar. Printed on glass, infused with salt, sweat, and sacred codes, these works are limited in edition and rich in meaning. Together, they form a cartography of the body-ocean — an archive of feminine resilience and planetary ritual.

In parallel, she publishes Codes du Vivant – L’art des organismes, a foundational book that translates the principles of the living into poetic and scientific language, offering a new grammar for creators, researchers, and systems thinkers.

This cycle culminates in a curated, invitation-only art boutique, where each work is contextualized, coded, and collected under conditions of meaning — not spectacle. No speculation. No noise. Just depth, truth, and transmission.

In the Era of C+++, Emma-Claire Fierce becomes a territory — for those who wish to inhabit a new relation to art, ecology, and the sacred logic of forms.
