Photographer's Profile

Jean Arriau

Nobeo, France

The culture of paradox, of balance in imbalance, the passion for creation, reflection and understanding of life events, have helped me create my own definitions of all these subjects that I share through my creations (sculptures, furniture and photographs). Passionate about working with materials and resolutely organic forms, Jean Arriau, multidisciplinary, sculptor, founder, and metalworker, creates timeless works, always having meaning, a reason for being by developing the major themes of life. The culture of paradox, of balance in imbalance, the passion for creation, reflection and understanding of life events, leads him to create unique works, deep in meaning and high in mastery of matter and its possibilities. I am inspired by life, the world, everything around us. I feed off everything I see and everything the world has to offer us. Whether it’s nature, writing, music, everything is inspirational to me. The theme of Dysphylaxis, highlighted by the author Primo Levy, represents the guiding principle of my art. The idea of ​​being one with nature has always seemed grandiose to me, as I like to say. It is an inexhaustible source of inspiration.
