It all started a few years ago with a vase “Poule” found on a market somewhere in France, that day we fell in love and discovered the work of Jacques Ibarra.
How funny life is sometimes – this summer of 2022, filled with beautiful encounters and moments, took us on the road to Mirmande, Jeanine and Jacques’ adopted village. Over a cup of coffee, we had the chance to chat with the Ibarras and learn more about this generous couple and Jacques’ work.
Ibarra wants us to rediscover the world around us, see through his eyes and hands. Once you enter their gallery, look closely, you are being watched – the artist manages to turn chickens into lamps, television programmes into sculptures, fennels into vases and cats into a multitude of characters.
Last but not least Jacques loves the Italian way of life and he is not afraid to say it loud and clear. Grazie per questo momento!
