Sylvain Bongard
Returning permanently to the Algarve in 1980, he realized his dream to dedicate his energy full time to art in 1987 from which time he has created innumerate works for public spaces and private exhibition in Portugal and abroad. "My sculptures in stoneware clay reflect my respect and attention to nature using my observational ability to recreate wildlife pieces full of life, impact and humor. The pieces don’t aim to copy from nature but embellish it".

I chose to dedicate to sculpting using stoneware clay, My work on people is inspired by the structure, and perfect imperfections of the human form.Representations of nature through observation leads me to interpret what is common around us into a decorative sometimes abstract piece."
