Contemporary artist Roderick Owen stands out with his feminine and subversive universe where stilettos become sculptures and freedom a reality.

Roderick Owen’s story is, first and foremost, one of searching for meaning.

With an aspiration as his backdrop: to be free to pursue whatever he desires with love and passion.

In his quest, Roderick embarks on an adventure, enriching himself through exchanges with the encounters he collects along the way.

But still, the aha moment eludes him…

Roderick decides to leave everything behind to find the most beautiful gift life can offer:

« What is the purpose of his presence on this earth. »

And it’s on a terrace in Provence that he will have his revelation.

An art in motion, inspired by reality

It’s in this stunning setting that Roderick Owen witnesses the parade of elegant women, adorned in magnificent fabrics.

He is struck by the power their attire confers, but especially by the subtle strength that emanates from stilettos.

In these, he perceives a whimsical artistic message

No longer mere fashion accessories, stilettos could be reborn as immortal women.

No rider to mount them, no restrictions to stop them, freed from flesh.

The artist then sets himself a challenge

To bring to life contemporary stilettos in wrought iron.

Stilettos that would eternally retain their elegance, and decide their own destiny.

Independent steel stilettos, having no need to find a partner to wear them, shoes that could be much more than accessories, but living beings.

At that precise moment, the sculptor realizes that his life has taken an unexpected turn, unaware that a few years later, his artistic universe would be appreciated on a global scale.

Like a great couturier shaping his fabrics, he sculpts iron with the same precision and vision, merging the elegance of fashion with the power of sculpture into a single masterpiece.

In his atelier, he pushes the limits of the material, transforming metal into contemporary sculptures with a singular style.

His work is built on a constant dialogue between strength and elegance, tradition and audacity, resulting in timeless creations.

The artist explores the subtle shades of the human soul, moving between shadow and light.

His forged steel stilettos capture a timeless elegance, freed from flesh, where every curve tells a story of transformation.

His art, steeped in mystery and contrast, invites contemplation—where beauty, freedom, and silent strength converge.

He draws his inspiration from reality: what he sees, hears and, above all, feels.

The result is striking works that shake things up and convey strong emotions.

He continues his ascent through collaborations with prestigious brands such as Imperial Heritage Caviar and Maison Champagne Duval-Leroy.

Sexy, extraordinary works freed from all rules.
