Hugo Drubay

Eyes on Talents member, Hugo Drubay, is currently in residence at Villa Medici, where he is developing a project to reinterpret the Medici vase. Acquired by the Medici family and displayed in their villa until the end of the 18th century, Hugo Drubay's project involves bringing the vase back to Villa Medici through an exercise in reinterpretation. By combining traditional techniques such as stone and wood carving and gilding with gold leaf, with new technologies such as digital sculpture and engraving, Hugo Drubay seeks to reflect a contemporary version of Greek art and the representation of nature.
Hugo Drubay is a French interior architect, designer and sculptor. This month he received the Remarkable Design Award from Fleur Delesalle at the AD & Range Rover Awards, where he presented a rose gold mirror from the Aux Arbres collection. Inspired by nature and captivated by morphogenesis, Hugo Drubay strives to convey the beauty of nature through his work.⁠
