In 2004, one of his works – a representation of Cyrano – was deteriorated. The incident led the artist to dig and scoop out its trunk. His new sculptures, then turned quickly experienced immediate success.

A year later, Bruno Catalano exhibited his works in the Parisian gallery Médicis and in international galleries Bartoux. His “travelers” did not fail to touch a large audience.

Currently, Bruno Catalano and his works are internationally recognised. His works are exhibited worldwide, from China to Belgium, via Spain, the US and Switzerland.

Bruno Catalano is a French artist whose sculptures are often missing pieces. The human figures are travelers heading towards unknown destination, lacking important pieces but still standing. It’s as if someone took the Photoshop “eraser” tool to them! Mr. Catalano was born in Morocco and a lifetime as a sailor inspired him to make these intriguing sculptural works.

The artist opened his studio in 1985 and began to create his very first clay figurines at that time. He stayed there until 1990 and opened a second studio in 2000. He also took part to several collective exhibitions in local fairs.
