In my home atelier in the South of France, this discovery grew into a lifelong study
My journey began with a recognition. Strolling along the Mediterranean coast, I saw the Anomia seshells not as a shell, but as a petal. It was a moment of clarity: nature had already designed the perfect flower. And these pearlescent shells called me to complete their work — to gather their scattered petals into a whole and make them eternal. This revelation grew into a lifelong study—an artistic and biological exploration of the parallels between specific mollusks and the flowers they so beautifully mimic. But it became more than a study; it became a source of profound inspiration that I want to share with people.
Creating flowers from mother-of-pearl is my way of giving shells a new, lasting life. This dialogue with nature inspires me every day, giving me energy and motivating me to explore new, harmonious forms. I hope to make the world a little more beautiful, a little more connected, and a little happier — one unique piece at a time.
To achieve this, I developed a unique technique. I reinforce the delicate shells with resin-based, certified safe materials purchased from trusted suppliers, ensuring their beauty lasts forever. I use hand-soldered copper for stems, semi-precious stones for accents, and only the highest quality components. By following a consistent, careful process for every piece, I ensure that each creation is crafted with the same precision and quality. This meticulous approach is my promise: to transform fragile, natural elements into durable, ergonomic, and everlasting objects of art that you can enjoy every day.
This combination allows me to not only create but also to share, ensuring that each piece I create is a chapter in this ongoing story—an invitation to see the profound, beautiful connections that bind our world.
My background in fine arts gives me the tools to capture the subtlety of a line in ink. My passion for nature drives me to understand the "why" behind the form. And my top-tier MBA and experience in international business provide the framework to build a process that makes this inspiration and beauty accessible to many across different countries.
