Véronique Guerrieri, born in Boulogne-Billancourt, is a celebrated French sculptor known for her contemporary works in resin, bronze, and stainless steel, often exploring themes of childhood and the future. After studying architecture at the Beaux-Arts (UP5) and the École du Louvre, she moved to Nice in 1987 and developed a passion for ceramics, training at the Beaux-Arts in Vallauris.
Her artistic journey was shaped by friendships with renowned artists like Arman, César, and Jacques Villeglé. Before committing fully to sculpture, Guerrieri worked as an exhibition curator, organizing international events. Her collaboration with Arman on the monumental “Hope for Peace” in Beirut, inaugurated in 1995, was a pivotal moment. Standing 32 meters tall and weighing 6,000 tons, this sculpture remains one of the largest in the world.
Guerrieri’s signature works include the “Baby King” series, reflecting on childhood in Shinto and contemporary cultures, and the “Baby Astronaut,” a whimsical explorer of the cosmos often accompanied by a cuddly rabbit. Her hybrid bee-butterfly sculptures highlight ecological concerns and the resilience of future insects.
Exhibited globally—from the U.S. to Japan—her works, including a bronze rabbit gracing Tadao Ando’s Tokyo residence, celebrate the innovative spirit of French contemporary art.
