Presentation

Pyrenean animal sculptor, François Marquet has been a ceramic sculptor since 1993. He creates animals more real than life in Raku, this ancestral Japanese technique, very technically accomplished. After his baccalaureate, he enrolled at the School of Fine Arts and studied there for four years. The pencil, which for a long time blackened the pages of his notebooks with drawings when he was a child, has been replaced by earth, which does not need paper; sculpture through ceramics, its means of expression. The 3D drawing in a way. Its main theme: the animal; the wild animal that allows him to project his wandering spirit in such diverse countries. This nature lover has only one goal of wanting to revive in our imaginations these animals he creates. He deals with it; his agile hands play and play with this material, always in search of perfection, even if he does not know how to hide his own style, which resembles him.
