Item Description
Lunch or Dinner with sculptor Victor Douieb in Los Angeles, California
Captivated by their power, grace and beauty, Paris native Victor Douieb began sculpting sharks to express his appreciation for the pure simplicity of one of nature’s most perfectly evolved creatures while also helping to bring attention to the worldwide impact on shark populations by overfishing and the shark fin industry.
Originally a dental ceramist by trade, Victor sculpted his first piece while at work one afternoon. He explains, “I suddenly got the urge to sculpt a little shark out of silver, not realizing that 20 years later, sculpting would become my profession.”
Whether diving with sharks or on an African wildlife safari, Victor immerses himself with the subject prior to beginning a new piece by getting as close as possible to the animal and photographing it.
He sculpts in clay and casts in both bronze with beautiful and exotic patinas and in gleaming stainless steel.
