About the Item
Inspired by a portrait of a woman painted by Pablo Picasso, I want to emphasise that the nose shows the face from both the front and the side.
Is she turning her head towards him, or is she refusing him?
The red stripes in the background of the portrait raise the question of whether Pablo Picasso wanted to free the woman or lock her up...

Born in 1960 in Lille, France, Anne Millot is a self-taught artist. After attending evening classes to satisfy her need for creation while she lived in Paris and later Brittany, she decides in 2010 to truly dedicate herself to art and settles in Paris. She then opens her Parisian workshop and takes training courses in ceramics and enamel techniques. At first she sculpts faces, however she gradually takes an interest in the nose and all of its dimensions, such as its sexual symbolism, its olfactory utility or the character and expressions it conveys. Focusing on the nose as the centre of her work, Anne Millot isolates it from the rest of the face in order to show it exclusively. She draws her inspiration from a variety of subjects, from cinema stars to mythological creatures as well as perfumers (also known as « noses »). Anne Millot makes every sculpture - earthenware, stoneware and porcelain - in her workshop where she also creates her own enamels. Thanks to a technical and detailed association of forms, brightness and colors, she conveys a precise and humoristic retranscription of the harmony and personality of the noses she draws her inspiration from.
