Dotty

Dotty is a French artist born in 1969.

Fascinated by art since her childhood, she started her artistic training during her secondary studies in Paris, where she took modeling evening classes at the School of Fine Arts parallel to her studies. But everything changed when she meet the artist Petrus in 1995, who teached her to play with volume, proportions and to work with clay and stone in three dimensions.

She moved to Nantes some years later and her artistic research focused on the subject of the body and her style became more defined and became definitely figurative while still exuding a certain symbolism. She then did a training in arc welding, always working on symbolism she began to study topics such as the origins of life, like the concept of the tree of life.

Dotty experiments with air and wall sculptures that she creates in bronze while developing a method of polychrome and adding gold leaf to amplify her defined style.

She got insterested in vinyl disks in 2016, which she cuts, shapes and paints to create a poetic and surprising result.
