LARISA SAFARYAN SOMEWHERE, NOT HERE
Larisa Safaryan’s artworks are distinguished by a singular and poetic material language, combining acrylic painting with delicately fragmented eggshells, preserved beneath a luminous plexiglass surface. This unexpected union of fragility and permanence becomes the very essence of her artistic expression.
The eggshell — a universal symbol of birth, protection, and vulnerability — is transformed into a textured landscape where memory, silence, and emotion gently unfold. Suspended under plexiglass, these fragile fragments acquire a new timelessness, as if preserved between presence and disappearance. Light plays across the smooth surface, revealing subtle reliefs, soft tonal variations, and an almost meditative depth.
Through this meticulous process, Larisa Safaryan creates works that resonate with quiet intensity. Each composition invites contemplation, encouraging the viewer to slow down and enter a space of inner stillness. The balance between material delicacy and visual clarity reflects a search for harmony, where beauty emerges from simplicity and transformation.
Her creations are not merely paintings, but intimate objects of reflection — evoking renewal, sensitivity, and the silent strength found within fragility.

VALERIE HADIDA GRANDE INSPIRATION
This sculpture portrays a serene female figure seated in a grounded, almost timeless posture, her eyes gently closed in deep meditation. The elongated body and softly modeled surface evoke both fragility and inner strength, suggesting a moment suspended between stillness and transformation.
From her head emerges an organic, cloud-like expansion of textured forms, resembling drifting thoughts, blooming energy, or the quiet unfolding of the mind in contemplation. This expressive crown contrasts with the calm purity of her face, creating a poetic dialogue between inner silence and emotional intensity.
The muted patina enhances the sense of introspection and permanence, inviting the viewer into a space of reflection and tranquility. More than a representation of the human form, the work becomes a meditation on presence, renewal, and the invisible landscapes of the soul.

Olivier Bertrand Miyamoto
The bronze sculpture “Miyamoto – the Rōnin” by Olivier Bertrand portrays a wandering samurai inspired by Miyamoto Musashi.
The work expresses the solitude, discipline, and inner strength of the rōnin. Calm yet determined, the figure carries his swords and embodies the spirit of bushidō, the traditional samurai code of honor.
Cast in bronze, the sculpture conveys a powerful sense of permanence and timelessness, while highlighting the details of the warrior’s clothing, posture, and quiet concentration. Overall, the piece pays tribute to the ideals of the samurai: honor, independence, and personal mastery.
The creative process begins with the artist sculpting the figure in recycled cardboard, shaping its form, texture, and movement. This original model is then used by a foundry to create the final bronze using the lost-wax casting technique, a traditional method of bronze sculpture.
During this process, a mold is taken from the original work and a wax version is produced. Molten bronze is then poured into the mold. Once cooled, the sculpture is carefully finished and patinated, preserving the details of the original cardboard model while transforming it into a lasting work of art.

ROMAIN LANGLOIS Chronos
“Chronos” is a bronze sculpture that explores the relationship between time, matter, and transformation. In this work, Romain Langlois draws inspiration from natural and mineral forms to evoke the passage of time, symbolized by Chronos, the mythological figure associated with time.
The sculpture appears both organic and shaped by natural forces, like a rock slowly carved by erosion. Through refined surface treatment and subtle textures, the bronze creates the illusion of natural stone, frozen in a suspended moment.
Langlois plays with contrasts between strength and fragility, stillness and movement, giving the impression that the form continues to evolve before our eyes.
Ultimately, the piece invites viewers to reflect on the patience of nature, the transformative power of time, and the memory embedded within matter.
