Note: William Geffroy – Glass artist
Originally from Brittany, William Geffroy draws inspiration from his passion for marine flora and fauna to create works of art using a blowtorch, glass rods and his creativity. Having qualified as a neon sign maker, he discovered glasswork whilst working in that field.
After several years of honing his skills, he decided to set up his own studio in 2008.
Each creation requires several hours of meticulous work. The artist shapes mainly marine-themed creations, which are placed in glass cylinders filled with demineralised water, echoing the animals preserved in formaldehyde in the old cabinets of curiosities and scientific collections.
In 2020, William Geffroy was awarded the Deyrolle Naturalist Prize as part of the SNA at the Salon des Beaux-Arts for his creations.
The artist is a member of the Ateliers d’art de France.
Beyond the artistic sphere, William Geffroy also collaborates with scientists in museums and aquariums. As such, his works serve as a bridge between living organisms and art.
