Collection: Thierry BENENATI

Physical and symbolic marriage, my sculptures reveal an invisible truth of the soul of my subjects. Seeing them is listening to your child's heart with your eyes closed.

Thierry Benenati was born in Marseille. After his studies at the École Polytechnique, he began a brilliant 20-year career in Paris as an artistic director in the most prestigious Parisian advertising agencies. His creative experience of discrepancies is now expressed in pure artistic expression, his true nature. Encouraged by personalities such as Mr. Gérard Depardieu, Mrs. Françoise Fabian and the artist Ben, his sculpture work will quickly be crowned by numerous distinctions and medals in almost all the major French Salons.
