About the Artist
Floscel Aubert was born in Coutances (Normandy, France) in 1966.
His father, a pioneer in tailor-made travel since the 1950s, took him around the world from a very young age.
It is therefore no surprise that, over time, he developed a passion for foreign cultures and languages, culinary arts, architecture, and art in general.
In 1990, Floscel Aubert took over the family travel agency and led his professional clients off the beaten path.
In 2020, when travel came to a halt, he needed to keep his mind occupied. It was at that moment that he felt the desire to create sculptures strongly inspired by his travels.
The material he uses, aerated concrete, is both very lightweight and easy to carve. He began by sculpting Moai (replicas of the monumental statues from Easter Island), painted in the vibrant colors of Aboriginal art.
Step into his world, filled with sculptures inspired by his journeys across the globe.
His Artistic Journey
Originally, he was not trained as a sculptor. He first worked in the aviation industry before taking over the family travel agency. Although he has spent his career in tourism, his interests also reveal a creative and artistic personality.
He began wood carving in 2018, and in early 2020 he started recycling scraps of aerated concrete, replacing wood with this material.
He uses a particularly eco-friendly and easy-to-work material: aerated concrete is lightweight, soft to carve, and environmentally friendly.
His initial idea? There wasn’t one. He simply wanted to keep himself busy and recycle leftover materials, which eventually led him to create his first artworks.
His Style
Highly colorful, expressive, and playful. Inspired by his travels around the world (Africa, Oceania, America…)
- Influenced by:
- modern architecture and street art
- Aboriginal art (dot patterns, vibrant colors)
- the Moai statues of Easter Island
- His works often depict:
- stylized faces
- sculptures inspired by cultures from around the world
- artistic objects (chess sets, characters, sculpted panels)

" 4 regards "
" Bois moi "
He was awarded First Prize in Sculpture at the Beverly Hills Art Show in Los Angeles in May 2025.
This marks a rapid international recognition despite a late start in the art world.
In summary, Floscel Aubert is a self-taught artist who began sculpting later in life, developing a highly personal style that blends travel, ecology, and vibrant colors, and has already achieved international recognition.
