Jean-Michel Bihorel was born in France in
1988, He has been doing digitally generated
pictures since 2008 after finishing his studies
in an animation school in France. The flower
series started when he found a dried hydrangea on
the street. The structure was so fascinating to
him that he decided that he had to do something
with it. The artist has digitally sculpted this
delicate flower figure.  It has been
meticulously multiplied over the framework of a
female anatomy, creating surreal digital sculpture
s that blends the natural and the physical
world. These art sculptures allowed him to to
explore the possibilities of realism from
software to imagine a sculpture made of flowers,
which seems natural. These blossoming digital
sculptures by Jean-Michel Bihorel combine the
artists fascination with flowers and the female
form. Some of the modern art sculptures have
moments of falling asleep and dance, his art is
both ethereal and nostalgic. In some figures, the
artist shows only flower made sculptures, in
other he adds the marble to the flower women
form. Child of two artists using traditional
supports, Jean-Michel Bihorel has always been
attached to the beauty of the material, the
gesture and more generally to a certain
figurative realism in art

Using Kintsugui, a traditional Japanese
technique witch consist in fixing an object with
gold, to make it even more beautiful than it was
before. It means that the fact of breaking the
object is just an event in its life and that
it gets more and more precious as the time
passes. The point here is to use the crack as an
ornament and not as a accident

I took classical sculptures from old masters and
reveal the emotions streaming out of them like a
metaforical wind tunnels. These artworks will age
as days passes and gain another form of beauty
only time can bring. The look of this series is
heavily influenced by René Lalique opalescent
glass works.
