The Pélé diptych presents two states of the same inner energy: ＋

This collection is articulated around an exercise of style demonstrating the process of creation by the reinterpretation of the rythm of a matrix over multiple mediums, imbued with a poetic tension.
Virginie Knysak used the technique of assemblage, deconstructing the movement. She refers to the constructivism & orphism artistic movements.
Stemming from the Art Decortifs heritage,
the designer, Virginie Knysak, nurtures the use of traditional techniques (sketches, drawings, hand painting, etc) whilst she includes into the craftmanship the newest technologies (CAO et DAO, laser cutting, digital milling machine, etc);
bringing together the notion of control and of random.
Through the creation of these bas-reliefs, she unites art, sculpture and design approach.
These subtle encounters create a distinctive style.
