Bella

About Bella

Quebecois sculptor Paul Duval has created a delightfully engaging series of table-top sculptures that portray a variety of characters. Bella is a bronze-coloured female figure dressed in a bright green floor length gown; her hair pulled back in a bun. Her arms outstretched as if to say, ‘voila!’—here I am! Duval uses paper mache, wire and metal to sculpt each unique personality.

“This medium brings out attitudes, emotions, group relations or even wounds.” Paul Duval

He is a member of the Canadian Sculptors Society and of the Conseil de la sculpture du Québec. He studied Monumental Sculpture at Université de Rimouski, casting at Maison des métiers d’art, Québec, and soldering at Cimic, Saint-Georges, Québec.
In addition to his full-time work as an artist, Duval is Technical Director, Symposium international de la sculpture, Beauce-Art, in Saint Georges De Beauce, Québec.
Duval’s sculptures including commissions are in private and public collections in Canada and France.
