Ousmane Dermé

Born in 1969 in Burkina Faso, Ousmane Dermé devoted himself entirely to sculpture from the 1980s. He quickly touched a large audience by creating bronze artworks that play with lines and clean forms. He has been distinguished in particular by designing and carrying out the monument of the Organization of African Unity (OUA) in Ouagadougou. In 2005, he created his workshop in the south of France where he has resided since. His creations are present in private collections in many countries.
According to his inspirations, Ousmane Dermé interprets the human figure by looking for the movement of matter to express the beauty of nature and life. He creates sculptures with smooth shapes and clean lines inspiring harmony and serenity.
Ousmane Dermé learnt very young the technique of the art foundry with lost wax and masters all the stages of this fire art. Today he produces his bronze artworks in his workshop in Poucharramet in France.
