Jacques
has been searching and collecting Antiques, as a hobby, for 35
years. He was also , during the same period, a scientist in the Glass
Industry.
“I
was fascinated by Art and intrigued by its creative process. After
few years, I understood the reason why Artist and Artisan (French
word for Crafts person) had the same root. Behind each original
piece, there is an Artist with imagination, who also needs the skills
to create it. The best and the brightest, e.g. da Vinci,
Michelangelo, Rodin, A.C. Boulle, Monet, were both remarkable Artists
and incredibly talented Craftsmen."
