Sylvie BOURELY

The female body has always been an inspiration for Sylvie Bourély. Trained in the fashion professions, she sharpened her sense of observation, proportions and rigor. Autodidact, she devoted herself to the sculpture of female nudes by modeling for fifteen years. Sylvie Bourély did not follow artistic training and works in an unconventional way, by scanning her sculptures from photos projected on the screen. She buys on a site dedicated to artists, nudes models, photographed 360 ° by professionals (24 views). It prints the 4 main views on which each detail is measured at the scale of the future achievement. Each sculpture is unique and worked without reinforcement, requiring an essential rest time to the earth to model it with the right consistency according to the postures of the models. Its objective is to enhance female bodies in poses highlighting them and whatever their morphologies. When Sylvie touches clay, she connects with her, this osmosis exalts the female content and energizes the creative energy, the earth being the incarnation of the soul of the feminine. Since 2021, some sculptures have undergone the test Fire in the Barthélémy foundry in Crest to become bronzes.
