Description/
Jean-Claude Bonillo created this unique piece through a lost wax technique in the 1970’s. A true multidisciplinary artist, Bonillo graduated from the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Marseille and began seeking his unique style by practicing as an architect as well as finding influences from his grandfather, a blacksmith. Having been fascinated with metal work as a child, Bonillo eventually continued his work in sculpture, more specifically, jewelry. He appreciated jewelry in its raw form, an object that decorates the human body as well as an object that exists as a mediator between the person wearing it and its surroundings.

A multidisciplinary artist, Jean-Claude Bonillo graduated from the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Marseille in 1962 and began exploring his unique style by practicing as an architect and finding influences in his grandfather, a blacksmith. He appreciated jewelry in its raw form. Not only did they have an ornamental purpose, but also became a dynamic sculpture inspired by the elements of the environment. He has exhibited his works in the United States, Canada, Japan, and United Arab Emirates and also collaborated with Yves Saint-Laurent and Nina Ricci. His work is included in the permanent collection at the National Archives in France.
