Chantal Molinié Jonquet

Attracted from childhood by drawing, meets sculpture through artists from Eastern Europe during her studies of letters and languages in Paris. After a year of drawing in the USA, frequents several live model workshops in Nantes.

This leads him to create nudes, mainly female, and busts, this to fix the form of the living in the moment through the pose of the model. She strives to preserve the unfinished appearance of a non-smooth surface to reflect the creative work developed with the help of successive balls of earth, structured by the drawing in space of the different profiles of the model.

She thus seeks to translate the quivering of life, but to give it a definitive character that must resist the passage of time thanks to the casting of the pieces in bronze.
