I explore and question the boundaries between decorative art and art.

This distinction is recent. For a long time, and until the Renaissance, art and "technè" (Greek) were confused. By "technè," the Greeks meant the know-how that makes it possible to produce an object. The word has a very broad meaning: it encompasses both the work of the craftsman and that of the artist. 

Where does art end and the object begin?

I imagine, design, and patiently handcraft artistic wire pieces, either in small series or as unique pieces. Lightness, elegance, and transparency are achieved through a meshwork of wire. It becomes a weaving of round loops, a matrix. It draws in space, plays with the registers of graphics by exploring black densities to create sober and elegant pieces to personalize your interior or exterior spaces.

The pieces offered (cacti, lights, plants, wall decorations, etc.) are motivated by graphic research in 2D or 3D while questioning verticality, density, and lightness.

CREATION TECHNIQUE

I work with annealed wire used in masonry for reinforcement. I shape it by hand, aided by cutting and flat pliers. Most of the time, no welding is used, except for prickly pear type cacti. The starting point for a piece is often a sketch, a materialization of an image, a fleeting idea.

Wire origin: construction materials stores. 43% of the European Union's steel production comes from recycled steel, made in electric arc furnaces.

Annealed wire is low-carbon based, from the recycling sector. Scrap is melted in electric steel mills using a powerful electric arc.

This sector is more energy-efficient. Over 62% is recycled in Europe, making it currently the material with the best reuse rate.
