"Marie-Jo Bourron, a passionate personality, strives to work the chosen material without curbing her imagination. The female body is her main source of inspiration, enabling her to treat the material with grace, elegance, strength and sensitivity. This exceptional artist knows how to render all the attitudes and impulses of women, their magic, their secrets, their regrets and their triumphs. She experiments with all techniques and materials: clay, stone, glass, wood, marble and bronze. An avid sculptor, she captures the essential presence of her models, letting herself be guided by the material, confronting it and imposing her project on it, all the while obeying its constraints."
