Born in 1960 in Lourdes (France), Mauro Corda has been trained in the classical sculpture technique at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts de Reims, then of Paris, before joining La Casa Velazquez in Madrid. He also masters both in animal statuary and sculpture, in direct modeling and natural sizes, using resin and nickel, bronze or marble, and playing with the opposition between the work’s carnal vibration and material’s coldness. His figurative and monumental sculptures question the notion of identity and the human body. Mauro Corda has participated in numerous exhibitions in France and abroad. His works can be found in several public and private collections.
