LE GUELAFF Laetitia-May

This Breton artist graduated with honors from the École Européenne Supérieure des Beaux-Arts de Cornouaille in 2003. She divides her time between artistic creation and teaching sculpture at the Atelier du Thabor in Rennes. A sculptor and multidisciplinary artist, she explores the animal world through works combining metal, earthenware, engraving and illustration. Her work questions the relationships between humans and animals from the perspective of ecology and childhood. Winner of numerous prestigious awards, including the Bronze Medal at the Salon des Artistes Français in 2023, she has also created several monumental sculptures, notably for emblematic places in France and Italy. Her artistic practice, enriched by a residency in Beijing in 2010, extends from local exhibitions to major international stages, affirming her influence in the contemporary art world.
