Antoine Dufilho

There's an almost palpable link between the Dufilho and Bugatti names, forged by the passion of several men. First, Antoine's great-uncle Jacques had the good fortune to collect Bugattis. This immense passion was passed on to his nephew, and naturally, just as a gene pool is passed on, the torch was passed on to Antoine. It's by being aware of his roots that a man can grow. Antoine Dufilho knows his roots, which lie in art and medicine. His work proves it.

As a child, Antoine Dufilho was introduced to the visual arts by his great-uncle, an actor, painter and sculptor. Later, medical studies enabled him to discover and dissect the complexity of human biomechanics. Studies in architecture then led him to a new approach to sculpture, in particular to working with skeletal frameworks, which when laid bare reveal a succession of fullness and emptiness, bringing lightness and dynamism to the overall form.

Antoine Dufilho is self-taught, experimenting with different techniques such as molding and welding to gradually build the aesthetics of his art around this DNA that characterizes him; he began to devote himself fully to it in 2012.
