ALTAIS - White gold sculpture - Gilded ocean shell Sculpture

White gold sculpture "ALTAIS". My sculptures illustrate the infinite diversity of nature of which so much remains to be explored on our planet, such as the immensity of Space, with its unknown planets, stars, and galaxies so mysterious and so far from us. Indeed, marine waters hide an invaluable treasure: extraordinary biodiversity. By making sculptures in natural shells gilded with gold, I desire to highlight this diversity and the beauty of underwater nature, which remains unfortunately unknown to us. It is an outstanding tribute to nature and especially to the ocean depths which remain mysterious to humanity. Incredibly, more people have landed on the Moon than on the bottom of the Ocean Abysses. These gold shell sculptures represent the shining points of light in the depths of the ocean like the stars light up our night sky on a new moon evening above the sea. The surface of the water serves as a mirror. Therefore these artworks are named like the brightest stars in the night sky. By continuing the reflection on the Ocean and the Cosmos, strong similarities appeared: this darkness that bathes them both, the extreme conditions which reign there, the unknown area which pushes constantly our humanity to innovate and find a way to explore this uncharted territory. As well as, since the dawn of time, a combination of fear and admiration that they arouse, makes them a tremendous source of inspiration for our imagination.
