Noëlle d'Aboville

Noëlle d’Aboville comes from a family of artists but began her career as a lawyer in Paris. After moving to Buenos Aires, she discovered her passion for visual art and studied painting at the Marcela Boubeau de Secondigné Studio. She later settled in London for more than twenty years, where she studied at the Heatherley School of Fine Art. There, she transitioned from painting to sculpture before joining Kindred Studios, where she worked alongside Jane Buckley and Hywell Pratley. Noëlle’s work captures the essence of life through sculptures of people and animals. Careful observation lies at the heart of her practice, allowing her to convey the presence and vitality of her subjects. She explores the grace and movement of the human body through expressive, energetic figures, including dancers and acrobats. Her sculptures feature a range of materials, including straw and plaster, terracotta, and resin, with many of her sculptures cast in bronze. Noëlle is now based in Paris, where she continues her sculpture practice.
