Jean-François Gambino

Jean-François Gambino was born in Paris in 1966. He worked more than ten years for Cartier, the famous jewelry designer, on the rue de la Paix in Paris.

In 1997 he learned and discovered through the sculptor Adam Chantal the special technique of clay and patinas obtained from natural pigments?. Having mastered the basics of modeling, he switched careers in 2003, becoming an sculptor of animals.

His bestiary is composed primarily of African animals. The spontaneity of his creation reflects the strength, vital energy and intuitive power that each animal must generate in order to survive.

In 2020, his work Paradis Perdu won a first international prize for animal sculpture (Wildlife Artist of the Year).

With his unique style, Jean-François Gambino appeals to all audiences and his animal bronzes are the most popular on the French market today.
