Frédéric Avella

Born in 1975 in a family of stonemasons for 4 generations. Bathed in the family business from an early age. Already at 12 years old, his father taught him to polish, cut, cut stone and marble. At 21, the town of Sanary on the French Riviera chose him for the renovation of several fountains and statues. His work is the result of the influence of pop culture, cartoons and comics. He created Freud, his first series of sculptures, by which he manifested his intention to demystify certain animals by attributing to them proportions and curves that were deliberately exaggerated. The key word is to parody the iconic character in a fun way. To imagine scenes, characters, objects with children's eyes. He creates, customizes, revisits his subjects by giving them an aesthetic Pop Art touch and vibrant colors.
