Françoise Darras is a sculptor with a background in interior design, theater, and music. She discovered her passion for metalwork through scenography. Her practice blends techniques from coppersmithing and metalworking, favoring the recycling and creative assembly of found metals and discarded objects, often creating imaginative animal representations. Her sculptures evoke a profound sense of wonder and nostalgia, breathing new life into forgotten materials and expressing the poetry of renewal and the enduring presence of our animal companions.
