French sculptor, Antoinette Rozan was born in Paris in 1970. She is currently living and working in Hong Kong. She is part of the fifth generation of a family with a long lasting artistic tradition (painters, engravers, architects).
Following her graduation in business studies, she moved to Hong Kong where she worked for Cartier from 1994 to 1997. Back to Paris, she worked in luxury accessories. In 1998, Antoinette discovered sculpture, and at the same time she developed a great interest for the theories of expression of the mind through the body.
From 2001 ownards, she dedicated herself to sculpture: "The day I touched clay, I felt alive...I discovered a rare and precious means of expressing my deep-rooted passion for life." She perfected her techniques via courses with professional sculptors.
The beginning of the year 2006 marked Antoinette's return to Hong Kong. She worked on her art, sharing her passion through teaching. At the same time she set-up "Terre-Happy", a program based on an "Art-Therapy" method. The aim of this is to work towards a better understanding of one's personal issues by expressing them through the medium of the clay dialogue and symbolic acts.
Aintonette's sculptures reflect strong emotions and deliver a message about the sheer essence and the instinct of life: vitality, life force and energy. Some of her scgulptures are related to her personal journey into her own feelings and emotions. Others reflect a free spirited message of love, peaceand joy, a positive energy for full accomplishment. Influenced by chinese art, she works on light and shadow, emptiness and fullness.
Her recent works include a commission from the french governement for the Hong Kong museum of medical sciences based in Central Hong Kong.
