STUDIO

A Studio at the heart of the Art

What characterizes Figures & Sala, besides of being a unique place where the artist draws her inspiration, it is the presence of the workshop : The art studio where Val works.

This art studio is a project Val and Frédéric had a few years ago as Val’s sculptures were getting larger and as her quality and technical requirements were getting higher.
“For me to create, I work totally isolated from the outside world, I need to be fully concentrated. What is surprising is that I feel like listening to the music of the world to create my sculptures, but to be able to do it, I need to be in my inner world protecting me of the interferences of the outside world.” Val

A workshop which matches with the artist’s ambitions

In the last past years, Val’s scuptures tended to monumental size and became technically more elaborated playing in a universal rhythm between void and fullness. “With time, I felt that to achieve my creations, I needed to acquire some of the casting techniques. To reach this goal, I needed to have my own team. We are now a team of five at the workshop; we work all together in an open space. The atmosphere is turn to concentration; we work powerfully in peace”. Val
