Philippe Farault

Philippe Farault masters human anatomy. And teaches it, or more precisely teaches portrait sculpture.
His technical ability in portraiture in clay is amazing, as he can quickly transform a face through all periods of life, or with some changes go from one ethnic group to the next one.
La Nuit des Temps - Bronze - 2003

He is passionate about sharing his research and techniques to his students, through his master classes in Europe and in the USA. Philippe also won awards in stone sculpture, and did several monumental pieces in marble.


Here are some other examples of male portraits from his hundreds of sculptures. They are usually in water-based clay, but Philippe also likes marble.
