René Julien
A Reverie of Love
• René Julien, one of the most famous Belgian sculptor, born in 1937 and passed away in 2016 at age of 79. He has been rapidly recognized as a master and nominated as a professor in Fine Arts Academy in Liege (Belgium) at age of 25. The artist has won numerous valuable awards and honors, and important public and private collections around the world.

• What is striking in the plastic work of René Julien, is the eternal elegance of his characters, the exceptional grace of the body and its movements, the ethereal look of their silhouette, light weight and way of being affected by light. He clearly loves women in every aspects.

• René Julien leads us each time to marvel at the freedom with which he offers us the momentum of a body in its full nudity, the liveliness of a sketched gesture, the soft and silky of an unexpected attitude, contemplation serene of a joyful intimacy, the awakening of a reverie of love, the fervor of a call. It is beyond appearances that he invites us to see, feel and hear. We feel it when we pass by the sculptures of this artist, when we let their vibrations reach us, when we linger, surprised, amazed by the density of their presence and the impact of their trace in us.

ISABEL MIRAMONTES
Isabel Miramontes
FEATURED SCULPTOR
- Isabel Miramontes was born in Santiago de Compostella in Spain. This eminent place of pilgrimage, which is of Celtic origin, still fascinates her and remains for her a magical area.
- The body, posture, movement and essence of human life are at the heart of Miramontes’ work. Abstract bodies cut into strips, Isabel Miramontes explores the concept of sculpture. At the height of the usual sculpture, she opposes an apparent emptiness. For her, sculpture is not a block of material to which a shape is given, sculpture is a void to which the artist gives a surface.

Artworks
Unique Art of Emptiness
Origine / Origin
Isabel Miramontes creates bronze sculptures with a warm patina. Her works show sketched human bodies, associated with shapes or objects and others, more realistic. In most of her works, emptiness is inviting herself. The body, posture, movement and essence of human life are at the heart of Miramontes’ work.

The body of passage sometimes becomes invisible. The curve of a lounge chair, a bench, a face and feet suggest the presence of a possible body as a spirit who would have chosen to live there.

The symbolism of emptiness: The scope of the characters of Miramontes whose face is only sketched is metaphorical and metaphysical. For Isabel Miramontes, the Human existence, at once concrete and impalpable, is made of flesh and bones and that part of essential emptiness which our emotions constitute.

Baldini
Eternal Elegance - New sculptures!
50 years of sculptures!

Day after day, with application and perseverance, Jean-Pierre Baldini modelled, kneaded, this material so noble, chiselled it so that it becomes this elegance, this lightness, this balance ... Jean-Pierre Baldini posed them, like a photographer capturing his models, one by one, they have become his muses. Bathed throughout his life by this generous obsession with eternal beauty, the artist loses us in a fundamental reflection with strength and commitment by leading us to dream in this so sensual universe. In tireless search of the mystery of femininity, Jean-Pierre Baldini broadened his field of creation and found a diversity of philosophical meaning in the different approaches to life.
