TEHRAN – Iranian sculptor Jamshid Moradian will be competing in the Camille Claudel International Festival of Sculpture, which will be held in the town of La Bresse, France in May.
Moradian, who has been invited to the festival, has sent a surrealistic wooden sculpture for his entry.
“I have previously showcased the sculpture in my latest exhibition at the Seen Gallery,” Moradian told the Persian service of ISNA.
The Tehran gallery put a collection of his sculptures on display in June 2012.
Wooden, stone and metal sculptors from around the world will be competing at the festival, which is scheduled to open on May 4.
Organizers will announce three winners during the closing ceremony of the festival on May 12. The winners’ travel expenses will be paid by the organizers.
Camille Claudel (1864–1943) was a French sculptor and graphic artist. She was the elder sister of the poet and diplomat Paul Claudel.
The festival is scheduled to highlight the theme of humanism.
