ART SCENE Marion Bürkle
German-born Marion bought her first clay in 1990, at the age of 38, and quickly became overcome by an irresistible desire to model, sculpt and create. From that first clay were born her first sculptures of women that aroused the enthusiasm and admiration of those close to her. What was just a simple pleasure quickly became a passion. From 1996, Marion devoted herself exclusively to her artistic creations, working from her studio in Mougins, France. Her sculptures can now be found all over the world and she has won various awards, including the prestigious Marina Picasso. She is known for her representations of women and obsessive search for purity of lines in her elegant, timeless pieces. In 2006, Marion decided to experiment with a new medium; carbon, a material combining lightness, stiffness and resistance. This allows for upscaling in size as well as the use of a wide palette of colour. Later on, she also started working with plexiglass. Today, you can find Marion experimenting and creating in her studio/gallery in the heart of Old Mougins. www.marionburkle.com
