Michel Favre is a Swiss painter and sculptor living and working in Martigny.
Michel trained as a marble sculptor from a young age: learning to work with materials, honing his craft and technical skills, and practicing restoration. In 1972 he opened his atelier in Martigny and until 1980 he created almost exclusively stone sculptures, but since the 1990s he has incorporated bronze, glass and other materials into his work. Since 1996 he has also created video installations, combining plastic arts, film, photography and new media. Michel Favre travels extensively and is passionate about archaeology.
The main motif of the sculptor's works is the fragile human being in a looming world of machines and technology. In his three-dimensional images, people are most often tiny and ant-like, trying to change something in the huge world around them.
Michel Favre has been a member of VISARTE (Society of Swiss Artists, Sculptors, Architects) since 1983 and has been active in numerous exhibitions around the world.
