FLORENCE DE PONTHAUD
Rooted in classical traditions and religious mythologies, Florence de Ponthaud brings to life the most enamoured couples and beautiful women in the grand and famous marble of Carrare. With skill and deep love, the artist transforms the solid marble into the most delicate flesh.
Marble is not the only medium Florence is seen mastering; indeed she learnt to dance with the flames to create her most impressive bronze sculptures.
When a collector gazes upon one of Florence's sculpture, he can not help but love this remarkable metamorphosis of a heartfelt emotion into a noble medium.
A knight of the Legion d’Honneur, one of the highest distinctions bestowed on an artist, it is now widely acknowledged that the French artist is one of the leading sculptors of her generation.
Florence de Ponthaud’s sculptures can be viewed in the most prestigious collections next to another French master: Rodin. Both life enhancing, they believed in a new genesis of life where the coldest stones could be turned into the warmest hearts.
