About the Item
Alexandra Gestin (b. 1967) is a French artist from Guérande, a small town located in the West of France. A number of amazing voyages gave her, her passion for art. In North Africa, her love for sculpture becomes a passion. In Asia, she is inspired and discovers her first subjects. Sumo wrestlers are indeed an interesting inspiration for sculpture, because of their exuberant, large bodies. In addition to her portrayal of sumo culture, Gestin is also engaged in sculpting figures of children of most diverse origins. Each of her pieces is highly original and sculpted using a mixture of strength and sensitivity. Alexandra Gestin possesses a singular talent which mixes strength and sensitivity. She sculpts the qualities of each human being as if it was a gift of life to allow her this discovery…. A voyage, a philosophy, a face... Her instinct guides her. Her imagination inspires her. Her hands create. "Children of the world" and "The Sumos" are the two key themes of her work. Today Alexandra is settled in Belgium and it is here that she has found the freedom to explore and develop this passion.
