About the Item

I am an exile; I miss my California, and yet I feel good here.” This short sentence, spoken by Susanne Wibroe, a renowned sculptor, still reveals a deep nostalgia for the life she once had. This beautiful blonde woman of Danish descent was born on December 19, 1955, in the San Francisco area of California, to Danish parents. From her native California, she returned to France every year and then settled in Paris for 12 years with her two sources of endless happiness: Katia and Igor, two Ukrainian children whom she adopted with all her heart in 2005 and 2007 respectively. In July 2009, following a painful divorce from her husband, Susanne arrived in Montceau with the children and settled on Dream of the Boards, a houseboat moored on the town’s canal. It was owned by Mark di Suvero, a world-famous sculptor. The American artist lived on this houseboat for a year before acquiring a large studio in the Montcellian region. For two years, Susanne had been working and creating her art in rather challenging conditions, as there was no heating on the boat during the winter. As a result, she and her children returned to her parents’ home in the United States when the winters became too harsh. Susanne works mainly with bronze, steel, and ceramics, and her works are truly worth discovering. Fire and Ice, Shell, Golden Egg, Flame of Saint-Ouen, Voltige, The Eye of the Lookout, and Luna Papillon, as well as works inspired by the elements Earth, Air, Water, and Fire, are among her many artistic creations. It is difficult to believe that someone as delicate as Susanne is capable of working on such large bronze pieces. Yet the many machines in her studio speak for themselves. The work is difficult, but when you love what you do, you don’t count the cos

Giacomo Onestini ceramic sculpture Italy 1970

Giacomo Onestini ceramic sculpture Italy 1970

By Giacomo Onestini

Located in Roosendaal, Noord Brabant

Beautiful ceramic sculpture designed by Giacomo Onestini made in his own atelier in Italy in 1970. It has a combination of matte and shiny glazed surfaces. The back and sides of the sculpture have a textured surface with shades of gray, green, and sometimes turquoise. On the front, there's a carved-out section that's smooth and glazed with red and gold hues. It's a very appealing and intriguing piece. You can find the artist's signature, "Onestini," on the side of the sculpture. This piece was created in the artist's personal studio. Very nice large sized, heavy piece and in excellent condition. After graduating as a master ceramist, Onestini moved to San Marino where he found employment at the "Marmaca" ceramics factory. Around the end of the 1950s, he moved to Salerno and began working with the "Ernestine...
