A true son of Provence region, place where the sea is always close by and influence heavily the life style of the inhabitants, Jean Michel Girard has been a baker for over 45 year; busy profession without any free time for everything else. It is also worth to precise the French Riviera was first populated by Ligurian people, a pre-roman tribe famous for its very typical art, and its love of metal working.

After providing Frejus and the neighborhoods during 12 year; Jean Michel moved to Kamala to enjoy his retirement time. The concept of metallic welded sculpture struck him ( almost literally ) during one of his trip in Bangkok while visiting an Art exposition fair. From that moment on, he will put his energy, will, love of “ outstanding work ”to his new passion. Devoted as only a lover can be, Jean Michel work is mainly based on the sea, on what goes on the sea or in the sea.

While many great names may have inspired him, we can also find a memory of the Ligurian people or at the very least a remembrance of one of the most famous Frejus’ building; Le Ligure! Some of us can find a soft touch of Modigliani, other will see a “ son of Cocteau ”,most of us shall and will agree on this : Heart was put into those sculptures, heart and passion.
