Peintre espagnol, Javier débute à l’âge de 14 ans dans l’atelier de son père où il apprend les bases de la peinture. À 21 ans il se lance à son compte en peignant la mer, les vagues et la ville dans un style réaliste. Ces éléments nécessitent un travail important sur la lumière et sur sa réflexion. Les peintures sur les vagues représentent quant à elles un challenge important du fait du mouvement constant qui doit être retranscrit sur la toile.

Javier réalise ses toiles en réalisant couleur par couleur ses œuvres et couche par couche, superposant ainsi les différentes lumières pour un rendu réaliste. Depuis 2002, Javier expose à travers le monde. Sa dernière exposition est consacrée aux surfeurs.

Alain Mandon presents himself as a self-taught artist. First a painter, then a sculptor, he created his first sculpture seven years ago, inspired by his wife's breast cancer and her breast reconstruction journey. To help her accept her new body, he made a first bust by molding her body, wishing to reveal her beauty. This first success, both psychological for his wife and artistic, encouraged him to continue on this path.

Since then, Alain has devoted a large part of his work to creating sculpted busts representing body fragments. He starts with a plaster cast, which he uses to shape his sculptures by projecting molten metal. The artist works with the material in such a way as to give it an irregular effect, as if it had been eroded by time. This gives his works an almost antique look, like relics that have survived the centuries.

The work of Alain Mandon, imbued with profound sensitivity and technical mastery, invites us to contemplate the timeless beauty of human forms, transformed by trial and enhanced by art. His sculptures, both fragile and powerful, are moving testimonies of resilience and love.
