Céline Vahsen deals with the socio-cultural dimension of textiles – their emotions. Her work encompasses various references and traditions from geographically dispersed, hybrid cultures, as well as customs from different periods throughout the history of textiles. For the artist a woven fabric is never empty, it contains history, memory and a narrative. 
Her work is a visual phenomenon that presents a delicate plastic balance, evoking a primarily aesthetic relationship in the viewer. This centrifugal presence, with no central point or singular direction, captures the gaze and hypnotizes through a symbiotic fusion of texture, tone, and light. These compositions and colors offer themselves to be seen and felt with immediacy and great simplicity while simultaneously revealing intricate details, sensitivity, and multidimensionality.
Hand-woven and naturally dyed threads pile up rhythmically. The colors radiate and unfold within the composition and across the canvas surface. Monochrome and blurry impressions may appear, creating tangible and pictorial images. These configurations of tape fabrics, arranged time-fragments, form a visual and abstract image. Mounted on frames, these canvases allow the shades to vibrate, transforming them into painting-like works – des tableaux.
