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-scale canvases inspired by the urban world, megalopolis architecture and African crowds.

In 2006, she organized her first gallery show and met sculptor René Broissand, whose studio she joined and stayed in for 5 years. Sculpture enabled her to broaden her creative scope.

In 2011, she moved into her own studio, and her sculptures became monumental. She proposes "ribbons", long steel bars bent with the strength of her hands, arms and legs.

For several years now, she has been exploring design, creating one-off pieces or small series, often inspired by nature and her childhood.

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