Statues both powerful and light made of stainless steel nuts by Jean Martin
In NEO Villa in St Jean :
During an Art Party in Christopher Hotel in December 2019 :
When I discovered the large and splendid villas of St Barth, I was seduced by the strength of the elements that surround them. The water is very present, there is always this connection between the pool and the ocean, like a call from nature.
The wind blows all year round on St Barth, this small island in the middle of the ocean. In the villas, you can hear the wavy palm leaves. The wind protects us from the heat of the sun by ventilating us pleasantly. Sometimes a gust passes and disturbs the water in the pool, creating small ripples.
With my series of divinities, I try to relate these elements, to represent them. There is Tethis, a sea goddess who takes water in her hands. There’s Eole, the god of the wind who stands proudly facing the ocean. Calycé, daughter of Eole with her hair and her dress in the wind.
My sculptures are made of metal, an element that comes from the earth. It naturally finds its place among the elements of St Barth. I try to combine the elegance of polished metal and the grace of deities with the refinement of villas. My sculptures are made to blend into the decor of the villas, to become one with them, like the natural elements that surround them.
