In a touching speech taking up the career of the artist, the High Official mentioned, among other things, her first works created as an autodidact in the heart of Catalonia; her public commissions, including the edition of twenty-five small pyramids offered by President Mitterrand to heads of state at the Franco-African summit in La Baule in 1990, but also the prestigious exhibitions and her retrospectives presented in the 2000s.

He then made a point of emphasizing the great generosity of the artist and her many donations of works, in particular to the Museum of Meudon and more recently to the Abbey of Beaulieu-en-Rouergue in the Tarn-et-Garonne where a Monumental sculpture of the artist of 2.70 meters in height will be inaugurated next June, before giving her this medal symbolizing her remarkable contribution to the French cultural field.
