Elena Di Giovanni

Born in 1993 to a franco-german couple, she began her artistic training at a very early age in the nice region. A graduate in ceramics from the métiers d’art programme at léonard-de-vinci high school in antibes, as well as a national diploma in art and technique, specialising in ceramic object design from the beaux-arts de tarbes, she was awarded the gemlucart monaco sculpture prize in 2018, and she subsequently won an international call for proposals to create a bronze memorial monument in memory of the victims of storm alex (2020).

She transcends the materials (bronze, wax, plaster, ceramics) to bring her sculptures to life, imbuing them with a sense of movement and vitality. Her mastery of lost-wax technique allows for highly detailed and expressive realism.

Based near nice, she blends her mediterranean roots with a sensitive contemporary aesthetic. Her works combine presence, subtelety and technical finesse.

She is now emerging as a rising figure in contemporary sculpture in france.
