Sculptors
Andre and Michelle
Andre Kupfermunz, a sculptor and painter based in St. Petersburg, was born in France and grew up in Belgium. His exploration of art began in 1990, after the end of his career in import-export with communist countries, following the fall of those regimes.
Michelle Passoff started in commercial photography as a writer and editor for a beverage company. After a career in public relations on Madison Avenue, she turned to capturing everyday images. She is also an author, speaker, and seminar leader.
Chantal Derderian Christol
Art has always captivated Chantal Derderian Christol. Through the richness it brings to those who know how to perceive its undulations with multiple facets: through this world of tolerance, serenity, and indulgence. She needs large formats, always bigger, to allow herself to completely escape.
For Chantal, abstract painting or sculpture is a way to express sensations or feelings that are too intense to be spoken or written.
