Sylvie Mangaud, born in Paris in 1961, is a French artist who primarily works in depicting nudes and animals. After her studies in graphology and morphology, she quickly became passionate about the image and expression of the body. Her creations are light and rendered with finesse, capturing their elegance and natural movement. Her sculptures made for Daum out of crystal paste are sensitive and delicate, like this piece, "Petite Muse."
