Carmel Art Festival "Best In Show" May 19, 2007 Born in Lyon, France Yves Goyatton discovered sculpture by chance and quickly recognized it as his true calling. After finishing high school, he decided to study art at L'école de Condé in Lyon France. After a year of study Yves came to the United States to view and experience the world from a different angle. In 1999 he started courses at El Camino College in Los Angeles It was there that It capitalized on his introductory knowledge of sculpture. To further his knowledge in this field, he sought and obtained an Honors degree in sculpture from Monterey Peninsula College. Since then he has been working in his studio on Cannery Row, where he has found the inspiration to create. Yves has shown his work at several local galleries including Winfield, Zantman and The Outer Edge and won "Best in Show" at the Carmel Art festival. His current body of work represents his fascination with the mystery of abstract shapes and their juxtaposition with human form. His work has taken this concept most literally by combining the human form and the abstracted shapes of modern architectural landscapes. Nevertheless Yves want the viewer to have the freedom to be transported in his own personal perception and imagination. Nico Mavris photos   2007 Arward ceremony at the Carmel Art Festival.
