Ingrid SOL LECCIA

Ingrid Sol Leccia is a Franco-Swiss artist born in Geneva in 1968. Self-taught, her career began with the creation of large-format canvases inspired by the urban world, the architecture of megacities, and African crowds.

In 2006, she organized her first gallery exhibition and met the sculptor René Broissand, whose studio she then joined and remained in for 5 years. Sculpture then allowed her to broaden her creative field.

In 2011, she set up her own studio, and her sculptures became monumental. She creates "ribbons," long steel bars folded by the strength of her hands, arms, and legs.

For some years now, she has been exploring design by creating unique pieces or small series, often inspired by nature and her childhood.

The Toootem are sculptures composed of several elements fixed with magnets on a raw steel bar. The patinated brass elements are made in collaboration with La Maison Pouenat (Paris).
