Eleanor Cardozo Sculptures - 'Body & Soul'

ELEANOR CARDOZO sculpture

Eleanor Cardozo is one of the most exciting and intriguing sculptors currently on the scene. Over the last 20 years her work has been exhibited across the globe, each time her inimitable style enthralling audiences. During the London 2012 Olympics, at such an important time in the capital’s history, Eleanor’s work was on show in high profile locations across London including Westminster Abbey, Heathrow, and Kensington Palace Gardens, As a former gymnast herself, Eleanor has first-hand knowledge of the skill and discipline required and her unique collection of bronze gymnasts became internationally known when they were photographed by the BBC, Sky and Getty images.

Renowned for the precision and finesse of her bronze sculptures, Eleanor Cardozo is dedicated to raising the quality and beauty of contemporary art through her work. “Beauty speaks to the senses; it nurtures the soul and lifts the spirit. Artists have a duty within society to raise the quality of artistic skill and subject matter.” She has lectured on the subject of Art in Society and was one of four international speakers at the 'Go 4 Glory' Olympic festival in London.

The second of ten children, Eleanor was born in London in 1965 but spent her early childhood in Africa and Malaysia. She was classically trained in sculpture at the City and Guilds School of Art in London and in portraiture at the Cecil Graves Studio in Florence. Her portraits adorn the walls of politicians, corporate directors, military academies and the aristocracy in Europe and Asia and her work can be found in private collections and on public display throughout the world. She has been described by one of her collectors as, "the greatest unexploited talent in the fine art world today".

In March 2012, Eleanor was appointed Founder Ambassador of Swiss watch company Bedat & Co, one of the most legitimate feminine watch designers inspired by the Art Deco traditions. She lives in Geneva with her husband and three children
