artist/ Olivier Coisne

France

Born on 12 June 1972 in France.
Lives and works in his own studio in Airon-Notre Dame (62).

An exceptional technician, Olivier Coisne is committed to ecological and environmental research and creation on the world around him. His career path is atypical, fluctuating between technical schools and the Compagnonnique federation, which has enabled him to acquire a range of techniques, including mastery of fire.

He began his artistic career at the age of twenty, combining technical skills with imagination. He has produced a number of unique works for restaurants and hotels around the world.

In 1999, his meeting with Claude and François Xavier Lalanne marked a decisive turning point in his artistic career. After twenty years in the craft industry, where he created luxury pieces using complex techniques, Olivier Coisne left Lille for the Opal Coast, where he refocused his work on materials. It was then that the idea of working in bronze came to him.

This noble, durable material, which resonates with nature, symbolises for him a return to his origins through the use of fire, and leads him towards a new way of translating his life stories.

Olivier Coisne’s art stems from a need for spiritual elevation, where the material itself becomes a work of art. Each unique piece embodies the finesse and elegance of nature.
