Michaël Deloffre was born in 1958 in the north of France and has always been an Art and travel lover.
He spent the most part of his childhood in Africa and never ceased to travel and live worldwide.

Still loyal to his first love, painting, Michael nonetheless discovered something new during his travels.
During a trip into the jungle in Asia, wood emerges as an obvious mean of self-expression for him.
In this material tortured by time and weather, he found a nobility, a spark of life, revealing a pure and simple aestheticism; a primal beauty, a kind of universal art language.
The result of his work is a strong emotion that brings us strength and weakness at the same time. His works of art, presented as esquisse, which transcend towards the essentials of beauty and the secret of time; a kind of proverb.
Thus, he becomes one of the artists to express his talent through this material. His original vision is revealed by the creation of monumental and unique pieces of sculpture.
A pioneer in enhancing raw beauty, he paves the way for a "natural and contemporary" aesthetic movement.
