In 2024, Françoise expanded her artistic expression by introducing bronze into her practice. While the foundation of each piece remains her hand-built ceramic sculptures—where the soul lives—she now translates their purity and organic forms into the timelessness of bronze, adding another kind of strength to her work.

“Unlike ceramics, bronze is unbreakable. It allows me to express my ongoing journey of personal growth with enduring permanence and power while preserving its purity by consciously avoiding patinas, just as I avoid toxic glazes in my ceramics. Honest, solid, and pure. This piece is the real deal.”

Exclusively for STUDIOTWENTYSEVEN
“The sculpture Strength of Slowing Down is on show at STUDIOTWENTYSEVEN, a sophisticated gallery in the heart of New York City. In 2023, their invitation encouraged me to explore new artistic horizons and marked the beginning of my bronze journey—an exploration that has sparked a deeper curiosity to experiment with more materials, adding an extra layer of value to my ceramic pieces.”
