Clara & Tom: Stone Sculpting

Swiss master stone sculptor Tom von Kanel and French fellow Clara Coujaty 

Tom von Kaenel is a sculptor and painter originally from Switzerland who developed an interest in art from an early age. His desire to bring beauty to the world is his inspiration for the creation of his work. Already during his training as a technical draughtsman and later as a teacher of pictorial design, he devoted himself to painting and three-dimensional work. He has exhibited his work in various solo and group exhibitions across the world.

Clara Coujaty studied bronze casting at Ecole Boulle in Paris. Prior to her studies, Clara had a diverse skillset with interests in sewing, illustration and photography. Having learned to construct a three-dimensional form through metal casting, she was intrigued to learn the opposite technique of creating volume from mass through carving.
