ANTOINE DUFILHO

Between the names Dufilho and Bugatti, there is an almost palpable connection, woven through the passion of several men.
Firstly, Jacques, Antoine’s great-uncle, had the privilege of collecting Bugattis. This immense passion was passed down to his nephew, and naturally, like passing down a genetic heritage, the torch was passed to Antoine.

It is by being aware of one’s roots that a man can grow. Antoine Dufilho knows his roots, which delve into art and medicine. His work proves it.

As a child, Antoine Dufilho delved into visual arts under the guidance of his great-uncle, who was an actor, painter, and sculptor. Later on, his medical studies allowed him to discover and dissect the complexity of human biomechanics.
Architecture studies then led him towards a new approach to sculpture, particularly towards the study of structure, which, once exposed, reveals a succession of solid and void, bringing lightness and dynamism to the overall form.

Antoine Dufilho is self-taught, experimenting with various techniques such as molding and welding to gradually build the aesthetics of his art around the DNA that characterizes him; he began to fully dedicate himself to it in 2012.
