Anne Millot

Anne Millot was born in 1960, in Lille, France. She is a self-taught artist. While she was leaving in Paris and Brittany, she attended evening classes to satisfy her need for creation. Then, in 2010, she changed her life and she totally dedicate herself to art. She then opened her Parisian workshop andshe took training courses in ceramics and enamel techniques. At first she sculpts faces, however she became interested in the nose and all of its dimensions. Hence, focusing on the nose as the centre of her work, Anne Millot isolates it from the rest of the face in order to show it exclusively. She draws her inspiration from a variety of subjects, from cinema stars to mythological creatures as well as perfumers (also known as « noses »).
Anne Millot makes every sculpture, using materials such as earthenware, stoneware and porcelain, in her workshop where she also creates her own enamels. Thanks to a technical and detailed association of forms, brightness and colors, she conveys a precise and humoristic retranscription of the harmony and personality of the noses she draws her inspiration from.
