•Notes biographiques• français

Théodora Barazzone est née en 1951 à Genève.

Diplômée de l'école des Beaux-Arts de Genève (sculpture), elle a prolongé sa formation dans des écoles d'art à Londres et à Mexico.

Elle poursuit son compagnonnage avec la pierre - marbres essentiellement - depuis plus de trente ans.
Cette confrontation intime avec la forme a laissé des traces dont les sculptures ne sont qu'une des dimensions. Ses racines italiennes, un long séjour mexicain et un sentiment ouvert au monde lui ont donné le goût de la lumière. Celle-là même qui éclaire son travail et les figures de la femme à qui elle donne vie.

Catalogue note

Theodora BARAZZONE's sculptures are resolutely anthropomorphic. These blossoming yet delicate or even innocent figures arouse a sense of direct sharing of the emotions hinted at by the subtle tensions inscribed in the stone. The apparently simple postures generate a strong feeling of urgency, a spinal stimulus, as though something were about to happen, as if a
movement was momentarily suspended or had been caught off-balance in a passing gaze. At the same time the dynamics of gravity, the invisible links with the earth, are at play, underscoring the contemplative sedateness or playful buoyancy of these quasi-allegorical or metaphorical figures.
