Mathilde Albouy
Apollinaria Broche (b. 1995, Moscow, Russia), lives and works in Paris and in Pietrasanta. A graduate of Les Beaux-Arts de Paris, her sculptural practice explores themes of escape and duality, balancing strength and fragility. Drawing inspiration from art history, Broche crafts strange, whimsical landscapes populated by fantastical flowers and shape-shifting mythical beings.
