ART SCENE Marion Bürkle

German-born Marion bought her fi rst clay in 1990, at the age of 38, and quickly became overcome by an irresistible desire to model, sculpt and create.

From that fi rst clay were born her fi rst sculptures of women that aroused the enthusiasm and admiration of those close to her. What was just a simple pleasure quickly became a passion.

From 1996, Marion devoted herself exclusively to her artistic creations, working from her studio in Mougins, France. Her sculptures can now be found all over the world and she has won various awards, including the prestigious Marina Picasso. She is known for her representations of women and obsessive search for purity of lines in her elegant, timeless pieces.

In 2006, Marion decided to experiment with a new medium; carbon, a material combining lightness, stiff ness and resistance. Th is allows for upscaling in size as well as the use of a wide palette of colour. Later on, she also started working with plexiglass.

Today, you can fi nd Marion experimenting and creating in her studio/gallery in the heart of Old Mougins.

Before you read beyond this first paragraph, I bring very good news –this magnificent car is up there in top three cars that I have reviewed for Dynamic since 2019, sexily tailgating the Jaguar F-Pace SVR and my absolute favourite, the gorgeous BMW Z4.
