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.

For over 30 years, Nelly Saunier has been transforming the art of feather painting into a unique form of artistic expression. At the age of 14, she discovered the pen and made it her favorite material. Trained at Lycée Octave Feuillet and at the École Nationale Supérieure des Arts Appliqués Olivier de Serres, she collaborates with high fashion houses such as Chanel, Givenchy, and Jean-Paul Gaultier.

His delicate creations are also present in fine jewelry and watch collections for prestigious brands such as Piaget and Chopard. A passionate innovator, she transcends traditional know-how to obtain works that play on metamorphosis, illusion and trompe-l'oeil, as evidenced by her Transformed Nature® series. His feather sculptures are exhibited in internationally renowned museums. Master of Art and winner of the Liliane Bettencourt Prize, she continues to reinvent this ancestral art to surprise and enchant the world.
