Artwork location: France

This captivating work of art depicts a majestic elephant, done in contemporary pointillism. The artist masterfully used aluminum screws dominated by shades of red and purple for the body of the elephant, contrasting with the white tones of the tusks. Each screw of color is meticulously placed, creating an illusion of depth and three-dimensionality that immediately catches the eye. The pointillism technique, combined with a modern approach, gives this work a unique quality. The intense black background accentuates the vibrant colors of the elephant, highlighting every detail and allowing the figure to stand out with striking clarity. The contrast between the dark background and the colored dots creates a powerful visual dynamic, encouraging the viewer to linger and appreciate the complexity and detail of the work. The elephant, represented here with realistic proportions and a somewhat enigmatic expression, seems to emanate an impression of wisdom and serenity. This depiction can also evoke themes of memory and majesty, characteristics often attributed to elephants in many cultures around the world. The artist's signature, placed discreetly at the bottom left, adds a personal touch to this already extremely distinctive work of art. By combining classic techniques with a contemporary sensibility, the artist creates a piece that is both timeless and distinctly modern. This work would be a remarkable addition to any contemporary art collection, and would also find its place in spaces that require a central piece capable of provoking admiration and contemplation.

Presentation

Stéphan Ouzilou, called Fano, always lived his life in the fast lane. His strength lies in the thought: « Embrace life to the fullest « !

At the age of 17, he meets the love of his life and they leave together to the Antilles where they will stay three years.

Three years which are going to confirm his artistic fiber and undeniable talent.

Indeed, out of nothing, he quickly finds himself at the head of a fashion empire in the textile industry, after having created the “trapeze dress" fitting all morphologies. Between Paris and the Antilles island, he chooses to stay in the front line by designing all store-front windows of the boutiques he opens, himself, showing his unending uncontrollable taste for creation. (He was the precursor of the avant-gardist articulated wooden shop mannequin.)

It is important to say that Fano grew up in the fashion industry, surrounded by big names such as Gérard Darel.
