Denis De Francesco developed a passion for photography very early on. He travelled the world and collaborated with numerous magazines throughout his internationally recognised career. He decided to end his career as a photographer in 2014 to devote himself exclusively to creating contemporary artworks. A self-taught, multifaceted artist, he invites you into the heart of his world, reflecting a range of striking compositions that sensitively retrace his journey and his quest for freedom.

Floriande Chérel, artist and architect, studied at the Marseille-Luminy School of Architecture (ENSAM) and at the Saint-Luc Higher School of Arts in Liège, Belgium. Her academic background shaped her passion for the interplay of space and the connections between landscape and self-perception. After winning the Grand Prix d'Architecture of the Académie des Beaux-Arts in 1999, she founded the architecture firm Abaque. In 2006, she chose to devote herself fully to her artistic career.

Gilles Grimon, born in Paris and trained in the Decorative Arts, worked as an illustrator for the press, advertising and publishing for twenty-five years, working with many prestigious names such as Le Nouvel Observateur, Marie-Claire and Hachette. Since 2005 he has devoted himself entirely to painting and currently lives in Provence after spells in London and Milan.

Godda began by writing for young audiences, but ultimately found her artistic expression in painting, particularly after a painting experience with her eldest daughter. She now works with both acrylic paint and soft pastels, favouring an intuitive approach that gives her great freedom and spontaneity in her creative process. She lets herself be guided by the interplay of colours and by the unknown that emerges as her work progresses.

Isabeau Chirat draws her inspiration from a creative childhood, in which she learned sewing from her mother and metalwork from her father. Her art consists of breathing new life into neglected objects and transforming forgotten materials into works of art. Her work explores the contrasts between fullness and emptiness, the precious and the worthless. Everything happens in the cast shadow revealed by her sculptures: it is not the wire itself that is the subject of her work, but rather the void it reveals and organises.

A dancer and choreographer, Jean-Charles Gil enjoyed an international career working with the greatest names in dance. Now a visual artist, this former dancer of Roland Petit repurposes ballet slippers and pointe shoes to create unique works. Through the ballet slipper, a kind of extension of the body, he reproduces his emotions, the shocks of life and his thoughts. His works represent him at his most intimate, combining grace and beauty with strength and rigour.

Liselotte Andersen, a French-Danish artist born in 1968, has lived in Provence since 2002 after living in various countries. She worked at UNESCO on issues relating to cultural diversity and the preservation of natural heritage, which influences her artistic creations. Passionate about sculpture since childhood, she explores human interactions through her bronze works, experimenting with the infinite combinations offered by clay, alloys, pigments and colours, playing with the rhythm of clean lines and the vibration of relief. Her creative process is spontaneous, a wonderful path towards oneself and towards others.

A graduate in interior architecture, Maïlo broadened her artistic horizons through photography. Her travels inspired her to create a visual notebook, and her discovery of photomontage unleashed her creativity. She is now a photographer-creator, blending photojournalism with the visual arts.

Trained as a photographer, the artist uses traditional film techniques and the art of colour. He believes photography captures fleeting moments in time and favours the narration of reality. He adds an imaginative dimension by colourising prints with watercolour ink and using superimposition techniques. His artistic approach is a form of poetic documentary.

Mickael Helleux roams his native Brittany with poetry and humour, capturing life along the water, beneath the trees, and during his travels. Signed black-and-white film photographs, in a range of small and large formats. He produces the prints and framing himself.

Myriam Louvel Paoli is a somewhat unusual sculptor: she sculpts wire. Braiding and shaping different types of metal wire, sometimes on their own, sometimes around objects, she creates works imbued with lightness and movement in a unique style. Immersing oneself in her work invites an endless, elusive sense of vertigo, suggested by her creations.

Nicole Brousse, a sculptor, creates timeless works blending the classical and the modern, while pursuing an inner quest to know herself better. She discovers that her artistic and personal explorations are interconnected, seeking to recover the essence of life through her art.

Olivier J. Leda-Weiss is a visual artist, musician and graphic designer born in the early 1980s. As a teenager, he left France alone for Belgium, where he would later study visual communication at the Saint-Luc School of Arts. Since 2022 he has lived in Vaison-la-Romaine in Provence, where he devotes himself mainly to painting. He envisions his works as pictorial ecosystems, positioned on the border between the tangible and the ethereal, the intimate and the enigmatic.

Olivier Talon, a French artist born in 1972, is recognised for his great technical talent by the expert J-A Akoun. He creates multifaceted paintings, drawing inspiration from art history and sometimes from controversial social themes. In 2017 he was awarded at the Salon International Art Résilience, and his work features in private collections in Europe, the United States, Japan and Australia. From 2023, in a more contemporary approach, he fragments his works to better question the notion of connection.

Sabine Badinier, passionate about sculpture from a young age, moved from ceramics to bronze. She also took part in setting up a ceramicists' studio in Cairo. She creates works from old toys and objects, establishing her studio and gallery in the Luberon after living in Senegal and Réunion.
