Biographical notes
A painter, poet and sculptor born in Domegge di Cadore, in the Veneto, Sergio Storel settled in Paris in 1958, where he made his first masks and large metal torsos. The torso became the central theme of his work, explored in more than 140 sculptures, between figurative presence and abstract simplicity.
