Claude Santerelli, known as Santa, studied sculpture between 1942 and 1950 at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, first in Gaumont’s studio and then in Yencesse’s, alongside artists such as Féraud, Guino, and César. He settled in Saint-Omer in 1951 and, at the same time, began a career as a designer at the Arques glassworks. In the late 1950s, he definitively embraced abstraction, favoring the more malleable brass, and the following years saw numerous exhibitions in France and abroad. In 1970, he received the André Susse Prize for Young Sculptors. He passed away in March 1979 at the age of just 54.
