JEFF KOONS Born in 1955 in York, Pennsylvania, Jeff Koons is without question one of the most important living artists. Since his emergence in the 1980s Jeff Koons has blended the concerns and methods of Pop and Conceptual art with popular culture to create his own unique iconography, at times controversial and always engaging.  Balloon Dog (Blue) - porcelain - Limited edition of 799. - 40 x 48 x 16 cm © Jeff Koons ZHUANG HONG YI Internationally renowned, Zhuang's work is triggered by a fusion of ying and yang, combining the ancient Chinese tradition with the spirit of western modern aesthetic. Zhuang Hong Yi's paintings are often characterized by a bold and surprising mix of bright colors and are made of mysterious layers of images.  Zhuang Hong Yi, ZHY-S02210 - acrylic and rice paper on canvas - one of a kind original artwork - 50 x 50 x 10 cm LEO MANELLI Leo Manelli is an artist who merges classical paintings with anachronistic elements of art and luxury to create lively artworks that mingle times and cultures. Ace of realistic painting, the talented artist reproduces meticulously masterful paintings, often from the greatest museum collections, and takes them over to create a bridge between centuries.

Leo Manelli, The Art Collector (Banksy) - acrylic on canvas - one of a kind original artwork - 150 x 110 cm PEPPONE Situated in an industrial zone at in Luberon (Provence), Peppone’s workshop (pseudonym of Christophe Tixier) is akin to Ali Baba’s cave, as the sculptor is also a habitual collector. In the rather dense and informative bric-a-brac coexists thousands of recycled parts and above all nearly 500 Tintin albums, which feed the author’s daily creation. The artist uses this accumulation of papers to imagine resin shapes in bright and variegated colours. They are imbued with a strong pop symbolism which reminds him of childhood and innocence.  Peppone, SNOOPY - "Pollock Style street art", 2021 - resin sculpture - original ed. of 8 ex + 4 AP - 50 x 26 x 30 cm ISABELLE SCHELTJENS Isabelle Scheltjens has put an original and contemporary touch on classical pointillism. She developed a new way of portrait making, whereby thousands of pieces of glass in specific patterns optically form an image. It took years of intense practicing and juxtaposing countless of pieces of colored glass to refine her method and truly master the color theory. Distance creates beauty.  Isabelle Scheltjens, Forget Fear - mixed media - one of a kind original artwork - 177 x 135 cm CÉCILE PLAISANCE From the iconic Barbie doll to real muses, French photographer Cécile Plaisance, a committed artist, has never stopped fighting for the emancipation of women. Over and above the myth of woman as object, the artist elevates the idol of our collective childhood by supporting the challenges of women today to defend their rights, their desires, and their hard-fought freedom. Her famous lenticular photographs are odes to the freedom of women everywhere.
