Following a sports career and a master’s degree in Cultural Anthropology and Ethnology, Michel decided to devote himself to the knowledge that has been passed down in his family for more than seven generations: the arts of blacksmithing and wrought iron. His works are the result of continuous research that tends to revitalize a technical and stylistic link with tradition in an experimental key. He places at the center of his work the concept that wrought iron should take forms that capture all possible harmonic traits in irregularity, both when reproducing natural subjects and in the conception of abstract lines and workings. For him, iron is inorganic matter that, through the fire of the forge, the use of tools and ideas, comes to life through the fusion of functionality and narrative, creating ever new forms.
