Birds are synonymous with flight, and as such are a potent symbol and embodiment of many of humanityu2019s hopes and dreams. They connote both the human and the divine spirit through their soaring freedom of movement, and their linking of earth and sky (often also water). Birds can represent our souls, or stand for wisdom and the power of thought.

Born in Grenoble, French sculptor Étienne Pirot, aka Etienne, spent his childhood and his youth in the "Dauphiné" province, went to University in Ottawa (Canada) and obtained a degree in plastic arts in Marseille (France). He was a student at the "Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Beaux Arts" in Paris and an art teacher from 1974 to 1976. He used marble, stone and wood in his first works but soon opted for bronze as the material enables him to play with solid and hollow forms. He often breaks up his subjects, shows a hand, a face, as part of a well balanced expressive harmony. Etienne has been displaying his work through various exhibitions or commissions at home and abroad. As early as 1972, his work has been regularly shown in galleries and numerous group exhibitions. His institutional commissions have also grown including those by Thomson, Cap Sesa, Bouygues, the Hénin bank, Michelin, the Museum of Modern Art and the cities of Grenoble, Paris and Guangzhou.
