« La baigneuse attend droite,
Se courbe, entre dans l’eau,
Comme dans une musique,
Dont on joue un morceau.
Coulant dans sa bouée,
Note noire et bien ronde,
Elle file, belle épée,
Pour conquérir le monde. »

Cette petite baigneuse est la 1ère d'une trilogie. Elle est droite, souriante, fière et hésitante, douce et forte, un oiseau est posé sur son épaule. J'ai voulu ici aborder la richesse de l'enfance, fragile et forte à la foi.
Ce petit oiseau est comme cette petite voix intérieure qui nous pousse à aller de l'avant, comme un fil rouge à travers mes sculptures, pour chuchoter à l'oreille du spectateur "n'aie pas peur, tu n'es pas seul, fais-toi confiance"...
Cette sculpture a été réalisée en bronze selon la technique dite "à cire perdue", en partenariat avec la Fonderie Adobati, dans la Drôme.


“The bather waits straight,
Bends, enters the water,
As in a music,
A piece of which we play.
Flowing in its buoy,
Black and well-rounded note,
She spins, beautiful sword,
To conquer the world. »

Cedric Bondonnat

This little bather is the first of a trilogy. She is upright, smiling, proud and hesitant, gentle and strong, a bird is resting on her shoulder. I wanted here to approach the richness of childhood, fragile and strong in faith.
This little bird is like this little inner voice that pushes us to move forward, like a red thread through my sculptures, to whisper in the viewer's ear "don't be afraid, you are not alone, trust yourself"...
This sculpture was made in bronze using the so-called "lost wax" technique, in partnership with the Adobati Foundry, in the Drôme.

Sophie Barut is a contemporary French sculptor. She makes bronzes using the "lost wax" technique, in partnership with the Adobati foundry (Drôme). Her work frequently explores topics such as fragility, childhood, balance in life, handicap, the vital force hidden at the bottom of each one, the beauty of friendship and love. She defines herself as the sculptor of fragility, considering that her artistic fragility is essential in this world where omnipotence prevails.

Sophie Barut was born in 1972, in France, where she got her Diplôme des Arts Appliqués de la ville de Lyon; Diploma in interior architecture from the School of Applied Arts in Lyon and finished Sculpture course with the Lyon sculptor Marc Saint Pierre.
