Manolo Chrétien and Pia Loro are two artists from different artistic backgrounds who collaborate to create a work of four hands, combining figuration and abstraction. They met in 1987 at the École Supérieure des Arts Appliqués Olivier de Serres in Paris. Then in 2017, they formed the artistic duo Man & Pia, combining painting and gestures to give life to vivid and colorful paintings.
They sometimes use natural elements (seaweed, gorgonians...) as brushes and painting tools. The creative process takes place in two stages: Manolo starts by painting the background, in an abstract style, with dynamic movements influenced by music. Then, Pia intervenes by adding her figurative touch, creating a work offering two levels of reading.
A self-taught artist from a nursing background, Sylvie works the land with care and delicacy. His main inspiration lies in the animal world, in particular the marine world, which dominates his creations.
Its distinctive style is based on the delicate technique of raku, a form of Japanese ceramic art involving rapid firing at high temperatures. Each work highlights the importance of marine beings in our ecosystem. Sylvie strives to give each sculpture a unique personality while emphasizing the beauty of each animal.
