The Starting Point
In 2007, Arcanis created his first significant work: a boat he built with his own hands at just 17 years old.
This ambitious project crystallized a lifelong passion for metal that had driven him since childhood. In the solitude of his workshop, he spent countless hours honing his craft, perfecting his techniques with relentless determination.
The Beginnings of an Adventure
In 2007, he stood out at the Olympiades des Métiers, a prestigious competition organized by the Meilleurs Ouvriers de France. He won two medals, a recognition that confirmed his place among the elite in metal craftsmanship.
This distinction highlighted not only his exceptional technical mastery but also his ability to push the boundaries of his skill set.
2009 marked a major turning point in Arcanis's journey with the attainment of sixteen welding licenses, culminating in certification to nuclear standards.
This outstanding technical expertise gave him absolute mastery over metal in all its forms. His ability to perform welds with millimetric precision reflects an exceptional skill set, turning every technical gesture into an expression of artisanal virtuosity.
A Wealth of Professional Experience
For a decade, Arcanis honed his expertise in the shipyards of Brittany. Immersed in the maritime world, he contributed to the construction of a wide variety of vessels from elegant pleasure boats to rugged trawlers, and even imposing military ships. This unique experience refined his technical mastery and enriched his artisanal skill, laying the foundation for his future artistic expression.
A Return to Art
In 2017, Arcanis decided to return to his art where he had left off. He now dedicates himself to creating increasingly impressive metal works.
The concept "The Boat"
In 2020, Arcanis brought the concept "The Boat" to life. Drawing inspiration from the elegance of great sailing ships, the artist took a decisive step forward in his creative expression.
It was at this pivotal moment that leather naturally began to blend with his metal creations, creating a harmonious fusion between the suppleness of the organic material and the strength of metal.
This alliance of textures marked a turning point in his artistic journey, enriching his works with a new sensual and tactile dimension.
AN IMMEDIATE SUCCESS
The concept immediately captivated audiences. This bold fusion of leather and metal instantly caught the attention of art enthusiasts and collectors. The originality of the approach, combined with Arcanis's technical mastery, generated great excitement from the very first exhibitions. This immediate recognition confirmed the relevance of this new artistic direction, paving the way for a series of works that would leave a lasting mark on his creative journey.
The Era of Change
In 2022, Arcanis made a radical decision: to leave his current situation behind in order to pursue an ambitious project. He had a modern 200 m² workshop built. Determined to push his limits, he immersed himself in an intensive learning phase, focusing on three key areas: audiovisual production, 3D modeling, and animation. This approach allowed him to unleash his creativity and fully develop his artistic universe without technical constraints.
Blending Tradition and Technological Modernity
