## Biography

Gilles Tosello is a French plasticien and prehistorian specialising in Palaeolithic art. Born in 1956 in Cannes, he studied graphic arts at the École Nationale Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs in Paris and obtained a doctorate in prehistory from Paris 1 University in 1997.

He has worked as an illustrator for magazines and museums, and since 1998 has been a member of the scientific team studying the Chauvet Cave in southern France.

He has also contributed to replicas of other sites such as Cosquer Cave.
