Hailing from Provence and now based in Paris, Brechignac's interdisciplinary artistry draws inspiration from nature's wonders, weaving a mesmerizing narrative that challenges conventional perceptions. His residency in Beijing, initiated by the Yishu 8 France Young Artist Award in 2023, led him to explore the abundant pine trees of the city, inspiring his symbolic use of pine pollen as a creative "bridge".

During his residency, Brechignac meticulously crafted three large paintings representing each month from April to June 2024, in addition to four smaller works and two sculptures, Pine Candelabrum and Pollen Armillary Sphere, all utilizing magnified pine pollen shapes.

Cayol, deeply moved by Brechignac's process, praised his ability to merge nature with artistry, creating astonishing effects that resonate with life's mysteries.
