Claude Quentelo

Claude Quentelo enrolled at the Académie Julian with the intention of taking the entrance exam for the École du Louvre to become a museum curator. However, this comprehensive training, encompassed everything from painting to classical academic sculpture, which solidified her choice to work toward creation.

Initially, she was drawn to volume, to three dimensions, to clay, plaster, and wax, which led her to the enduring and timeless power of bronze. The next step was yet to come, for while working on sculpture restoration at the Louvre Museum, she began to create her own universe of expressive group subjects and scenes of everyday life, such as her bronze “Tree of Light” in a public square in France.

Next came the transformation of classical art into symbolic vision of our era, architecture, and environment: with her Trees of Life, her Gardens, and Towers: through time, the world, and the imagination, and the Labyrinths that characterize the paths of life with their meanders.

Her works are featured in numerous art fairs, where she has received honorary awards, not only in galleries in Paris, but also Belgium, Portugal, Germany, and Canada.

Works can also be found in public and private collections: LVMH, MAKTOUM Dubaï, MOOD MEDIA, JOUVEINAL, OFIVALMO, Villa Medicis Musée Saint-Maur des Fossés -France, etc.

Her creativity led to other innovative fields: designer for IKEA and inventing a painted method traced with painting violin strings.
