Mara Dominioni

I am an Italian artist who has lived and worked in France for over 17 years.

With my experience of 30 years in sculpture (bronze, marble, clay and plaster), I move forward, inspired by the daily life that I immerse myself in. Thus my unconscious pushes me to create sculptures that I am not looking for but which are already in me and are revealed by the power of my love of staging and painting.



I observe a lot, I draw just as much, the eye always awake. I celebrate movement and gesture in each of my works.
