French artist Jean-Michel Othoniel lives and works in Paris. He completed his education at the École Nationale Supérieure d’Arts in France, as well as being a Resident at the Villa Medici in Rome, Italy. Since the end of the 1980s, Othoniel has been inventing a world that ranges from drawing to sculpture, from installation to photography, from writing to performance. He first explored materials with reversible qualities such as sulfur and wax, and has been working with glass since 1993. These days his works take on an architectural dimension and gladly encounter gardens and historical sites through public and private commissions all over the world.
