Jean Jacques Porret is a creative sculptor who specializes in crafting breathtaking contemporary bronze sculptures. Porret creates his sculptures using the lost wax method, employing a wax model to produce the final piece in a complex, multi-step foundry process. Collectors enjoy his magnificent sculptures, noting that his creations evoke the movements and grace of a ballet dancer, and where the human form seems to leap out to the viewer. This movement is described by Jean-Jacques as "rhythm in space." Known for his incredible outdoor sculptures that have been placed in a variety of environments, he adds a unique and distinctive touch to urban areas. Today, Porret’s bronzes can be seen in innumerable collections throughout Europe, Japan and the United States. He has been commissioned to create many bronze sculptures, including one for the Swiss-American Friendship Award. Abage’s Encyclopedia of Bronzes, the definitive master index of international bronze sculptors, describes Porret as "an independent thinker, whose bronze sculpture might be described as a naturalistic, modern blend, in which forms are simplified to their essential rhythms and elements."
