Fou Rire (l'éléphant) Sculpture

Olga Caceres was born in Aubervilliers - France and currently lives and works in Madrid (Spain). ARTIST STATEMENT Taking stock of recent years, the variety of sculptural techniques that I work with and the materials that I use enrich a sculptural and thematic language. The story I tell deals with living beings, their feelings and evolutions. Most of the time I work sets of 5 to 15 units. The curiosity to explore and investigate multiple techniques and materials make me independent from the first sketch to the finishing of the work. I enjoy when I work abstract or figurative forms, bronze or wood, carving or welding. Lately, I even complete the sculptural work with photography, as a self-portrait of the artist's feelings.
