Florence Sastourné was born in 1978 in France and spent part of her youth on a sailboat. From this wandering childhood, she has kept this curiosity that is found in creation and encounter.

In 2009, at the age of 31, she was selected by London Metropolitan University and obtained a BA Honours in Architecture and Spatial Design. She immediately opened her interior design studio and followed 10 years of beautiful projects and a solid love of work well done.

The year 2019 marks the transition from architecture to sculpture thanks to her meeting with the artist Isabelle Tassin De Grandmaison, she now devotes all her energy to it. Clay is an experience and Florence experiments with it by pushing it to its limits. Then comes the time to touch steel, essential in order to finalize her sculptures and surely more in the future. What fascinates her about working with metal is being able to recreate the magic she witnessed as a child through the gestures of her father, an artistic ironworker.

In life, we often come up against things that are difficult to understand, art allows us to give form to what may be impossible. Florence offers us this space where everything is possible. Creation is part of her, a way of living, of being in the world.
