During the two years of confinement, I took advantage of this "break" to perfect my ancestral techniques of gilding with gold leaf with one of the most recognized gilders in Paris, within the Ateliers of the Faubourg Saint Antoine district.

I therefore naturally moved towards revisiting works rich in gilding and silvering, in this case KLIMT's kiss, adding relief in the most precious materials that Mother Nature has blessed us with, such as more than 11,000 crystals of the famous Austrian house, nearly 900 Florentine gold leaves, corals from Bonifacio, black pearls from Polynesia etc.

Deliberately unfinished (80%), I wish to leave the client the choice of the remaining 20% to be finalized according to their idea, or to entrust me with the initiative for completion for the remaining weeks.

Once this first work has been placed, the client will have access to my private collection, including a giant fresco on the theme of "STARRY NIGHT" comprising no less than 50,000 crystals... quite a program for 2024!

Collages

Collage is an artistic creation technique that consists of making a plastic creation by combining elements of various kinds: more or less flat materials, such as printed oilcloth, painting or drawing, newspaper extracts with text and photos, paper paintings, documents, various objects of low relief, etc. When the creation incorporates elements in relief, one can also speak of assemblage. This also includes glued papers, which employ a variety of papers, including newspaper, and drawing techniques.

Painters represent a very personal expression on supports such as paper, rock, canvas, wood, bark, glass, concrete and many other substrates.

Son parcours débute dans la plus tendre enfance en consacrant ses vacances à la chasse aux minéraux et aux fossiles.

C'est pendant ses études que les premières fontaines d'intérieur de cristaux géants sont créées avec le concours d'écoles d'ingénieur puis exposées dans divers salons.

Puis la crise sanitaire de 2020 va marquer un tournant décisif : Steeve consacre ces 2 années à sa passion pour l'or sous toutes ses formes : orpaillage, puis une solide formation de dorure à la feuille d'or.

A l'issue de cette période, le défi est lancé de revisiter les oeuvres célèbres en relief au moyen d'or, de milliers de cristaux, mais aussi d'autres matériaux précieux rapportés des quatre coins du monde tel que le corail rouge de Corse et la perle noire de Polynésie.

Le savoir faire à la française et l'esprit de démesure de chaque oeuvre repousse sans cesse les limites du possible, ce qui rend chaque pièce véritablement unique et, pour peu que l'éclairage soit approprié, est propre à déclencher une fascination incontrôlée pour qui croise son chemin.

Exposées dans le hall d'un casino ou d'un siège social, sur un yacht ou dans un palais, chaque création respectera toujours la même philosophie : " réaliser et sublimer le rêve du client ".
