Ornelie Sculpture

Ornelie is a French artist, figurative sculptor, drawing animator, born in 1983. After a solid training at Gobelins animation school in Paris, she works as 2D animator on numerous feature films, and she is a self-taught sculptor. All her artworks are strictly one-of-a-kind, totally handmade with polymer clay, including fabrics, laces, embroideries, and eyes.

Throughout her feminine characters, she develops her personal universe, often surreal and romantic, sometimes pop and baroque. By playing with the codes of the curiosity cabinet, her sculptures are paths towards her dreams of fantasized part eras, as much as her gothic and victorian visions.

She is the 2nd prize winner of the Beautiful Bizarre Art Prize 2024 in the sculpture category. She had also recently win the Poet Artist prize of the ARC competition, and her work has been selected to go to the moon with the Lunar Codex Project. Some of her work are currently exhibited to the Naia Museum in France, and she will take part in several upcoming group and solo shows in San Francisco and Los Angeles.
