Reimagining Silver – The Artistry of Nicolas Desbons

Nicolas Desbons, a Paris-born artist, has revitalized silver art with his innovative and eco-conscious skills, whose sculptures, crafted from recycled silver, blend traditional techniques with modern aesthetics, creating a dialogue between the past and the present. Desbons’ creations are a testament to the medium’s timeless beauty and its potential for contemporary expression, like ‘Silver Seeder Plate,’ is not only visually striking but also carries a message of reverence and sustainability.

After training in Industrial Design at the California College of Arts and Craft, Desbons has mastered the art of transforming steel into captivating forms. His studio in the French countryside serves as a creative haven where he experiments with various artistic projects, from locksmithing to abstract sculptures.

Desbons’ figurative sculptures, like ‘Bending’ and ‘Tornade,’ are research in motion and form, challenging our perception of strength and elegance. His recent contributions to the Montreux Biennale 2023 showcase his commitment to pushing the boundaries of silver art.  Source
