When envisioning an artistic collection made of unique sculptures, I always reach deep inside my soul. I feel a very strong connection with nature.Trees, birds, animals, flowers are my sanctuary. I then convey these inspirations and feelings to Jose during our one meeting, usually held in Paris, in this instance, over dinner at the fabulous restaurant Lilly-Wang. The sketching begins in a Picasso fashion. As I express my vision and intentions for the collection, Jose starts sketching. Birds, trees, everything that my mind tries to express is brought to life via Jose's hand and pen.

I will not unveil the collection yet but will share our creative process from concept to final installation.

From loose sketches, the final drawing is revealed.




From drawing, the sculpture takes its form via shape and material


Constantin B in all its simple beautiful splendor.


For the event, we have placed the sculptures and lights in various contexts

Just imagine Constantin B in his new environment. The possibilities are endless. The artist is offering you a unique piece that can be your own vision.

Have a great week!
