I am Adèle Vergé and I am a sculptress. I was born in Sète in 1930. I am Catalan as is my whole family which comes from Spain. I presently live and work in Perpignan.

 I decided to learn sclupture at a late stage of my life, that is upon retirement. For three years, I followed Pascale Aghilon's enlightening teachings from Art School in Perpignan.

 Before so, I have been consecutively a photographer, a script-girl, a real-estate agent, a psychotherapist, a writer and so many other things during the thirty years I spent in Paris.

Paris is where I had the good fortune and hapiness to make the acquaintance of Antoinette Fouque who had been my analyst for some time and to assist to some "Psychoanalysis and Politic" reunions and workshops. I even had the honor to exhibit at the Womens' Alliance bookstore. Thank you, Antoinette!

I left Paris and settled in Perpignan after a twelve year long running analysis which, after all, allowed me to discover and realize my unsuspected desire to be a sculptress. Thank you, Mister Freud and your followers!

 All my sculptures originate naturally from the shape of the human body. I remain faithfull to the living model schools. Nothing is more delighful to me to struggle with clay; I love earth specially in front of a living model.

 To me, everything takes its source from this body made of flesh. It is inhexaustible. One can stick to reality with the most scholastic figure, and from there all paths are open. From one variation to another, volumes get simpler, lines get more pure, masses get balanced and the form aims at its essential element to this strong point which makes light vibrate around the statue when one had the luck to accomplish the craft.

 My path is that of the simplest love: sensual and tender.

 In my workshop, huggings are plenty: traditional couples, she-lover couples, lover couples, paternities and maternities. Within all those embraces, I try to radiate emotion and tenderness.
