Christian Candelier

Sculptor based in Sanary sur Mer in the Var, the artist Christian Candelier takes you into the emotional universe of his female nudes inhabited by the impulse, grace, and elegance that exalt female beauty with a touch of eroticism. He draws his inspirations from the poses of his live models, from the paintings he particularly loves, as well as from advertisements for jewelry, haute couture, and perfumes. It is always a challenge to create in 3D what has moved him in 2D. "I love that people enjoy caressing my bronze sculptures, with a smooth finish, to feel this sensuality of the body as I experienced it during modeling." His artistic expression drives him to seek perfection in the touch on his sculptures with smooth curves. He often brings his sculptures to the brink of imbalance and favors the harmony of lines and movement. After a first professional life in a company, Christian Candelier has committed himself almost full-time to his passion since 2011. He regularly exhibits in personal and collective exhibitions in France and Belgium. With a strong presence on several international online sales sites, his sculptures are in private collections among many foreign collectors.
