Biography
Bertrand Godefroy, a sculptor and draftsman from France, discovered academic drawing at a young age while living in Switzerland. He then continued his artistic education at Ecole Émile Cohl in Lyon, where he graduated and received his bachelor’s degree in draftsmanship. During these studies, he discovered sculpture, which quickly became his primary interest. He pursued an internship at the renowned Atelier Prométhée, a mold-making and casting atelier in Paris. After this experience, it became clear that becoming a sculptor was Bertrand’s dream.
Subsequently, he enrolled in the sculpture program at The Florence Academy of Art, from which he graduated. Currently, he serves as a Principal Instructor at the academy. In addition to his teaching, Bertrand also operates his private studio, Corpo, located in the heart of Florence.
