Self-taught, he draws his inspiration from the heart of the Mediterranean, the element that nourishes him and where he likes to lose himself swimming. The vibrant colors, undulating lines and sensual curves that surround him evoke femininity, its solar sensuality and free spirit. From this vision come creations that are both contemporary and sculptural, a tribute to the timeless beauty of woman. Artists such as Donald Judd, Julio Le Parc and Tom Wesselmann are influential figures who nourish his designs, infusing him with the spirit of kinetic art and the Memphis movement.
His field of experimentation: materials. Steel, aluminum, cork, wood, expanded foam and plaster become the mediums for technical, singular and resolutely innovative works. Breaking with conventional design, Axel favors rarity and radical aesthetics, transforming each object into a veritable sculpture, endowed with an indisputable presence in space.
