Claude Torricini was born in 1930 in Fort-de-France (Martinique) and studied art in Paris at the Cours Jullian and the Beaux-Arts. As a young graduate, she won the Prix André Susse in 1954 at the Salon de la jeune sculpture, dedicated to new contemporary trends in sculpture.

This was followed by a series of group and solo exhibitions around the world, including Les fondeurs d'art et leurs sculpteurs at the Grand Palais (1981), an exhibition at the Takis Foundation in Athens (1990) and an appearance at The Armory Show in New York (2010).

She died in Paris in February 2025, aged 94.
