Guest Artist Paty Sonville

Paty Sonville comes to the Andres Institute from Belgium. She studied sculpture at the Brussels Art School where she teaches sculpture.

Choosing to work with mostly stone and metal, Paty has found a way to make such heavy materials in light and airy pieces that emphasize nature. She chooses her materials based on the space in which the piece will be placed, taking into consideration how the public will be viewing it.

In 2001, Paty was honored with the award of “Prize of Sculpture and Relief” by the Royal Academy of Sciences, Letter  and Fine Arts of Brussels.

In both 2003 and 2005, Paty organized the sculpture Symposium of  Les Avins-en-Condronz. Paty has done work in Quebec, France and Denmark and was commissioned to do a monumental sculpture by the town council of Berchem Sainte-Agathe, Brussels.

 Monumental sculpture is something that Paty enjoys and continues to explore. Now, Paty’s sculpture will be shred by the visitors to the Andres Institute.
