Paul Toupet was born in Paris in 1979. He trained at Penninghen art school and also at the Workshop of Fine Arts of Glacière located in Paris. In 1996, he started to work focus his work specifically on the human representation, and has been ever since. He sculptures wax puppets, which resembles children-like figures and rabbit masks. Along with the sculptures, he adds hair braids vomiting from the mouth, dressed in torn tissues or feathers and nucleated eyes. A lot of his art works are influeced from African art and religious art, mixed with his own exotic taste. Through his art work, he is trying to show us how the world can be peaceful but scary at the same time.
