Originally from Essonne in Ile de France, and currently in terminal STD2A - Sciences and techniques of Applied Arts class at the Claude Nicolas Ledoux high school in Vincennes, I spend most of my free time imagining sculptures.

The plastic art taught during my college years already fascinated me, my orientation towards Art as a whole was obvious.

At the same time, I am lucky to have parents by my side who have always allowed my imagination to develop.

Very small my only company suitcase consisted of pencils, leaves, paints, and any object that could occupy me. As we grew up, it was museum visits that guided our travel destinations. The MOMA in New York and that of San Francisco, the Van Gogh museum in Amsterdam, or even Rome of artistic beauty without a measure.

The subjects that were imposed on us during the STD2A course allowed me to apply these few basics and to develop this creative spirit even more.

All this made me converge on the discovery of metal. Material that I like to work with and transform to make sculptures.

Des Nani's project was born from the imagination of a father and his daughter; they are small steel sculptures. From a street post, the object is transformed into a somewhat crazy but above all very clumsy artist.

Through him, painting becomes a source of happiness and fun. Nani's find their inspiration in the everyday life of everyone to become sculptures that catch the eye with their quirky look.

To look at them is to smile !!!!
