In March 2025, CARMELO Paris proudly marked a new chapter—our first international participation at the prestigious 10th edition of Animal Art Bruxelles, an exhibition dedicated to contemporary animal artistry. This milestone was not only an introduction of our vision to a wider audience but also a celebration of the craftsmanship and storytelling that define our Crystal Art Objects.
At the heart of our presentation was the African Bird Crystal Masterpiece Séries—a bold and imaginative expression that personifies the landscapes of Africa through bespoke crystal artistry. Each bird, sculpted from rare natural gemstones, embodies a distinct spirit drawn from the beauty and resilience of African wildlife. This collection represents our ongoing commitment to merging Crystal Art with personal symbolism—offering pieces that are as meaningful as they are extraordinary.
The African Bird Crystal Masterpiece Séries: A Vision Takes Flight
Unveiling the complete African Bird Crystal Masterpiece Séries for the first time on an international stage, we invited collectors and art enthusiasts to immerse themselves in a world where art meets intention. This collection, inspired by the vast and untamed African landscapes, transforms natural gemstones into Bespoke Art Objects—each sculpture capturing the spirit and movement of its avian muse.
From the ethereal transparency of Rock Crystal to the rich hues of Ruby and Pink Quartz, every material was chosen to reflect the unique energy of these majestic birds. More than objects of beauty, these sculptures carry a deeper narrative—a reminder that true luxury lies in the rare and the meaningful.
A Special Honor: The Coupe de Coeur du Jury
In a moment of profound recognition, CARMELO Paris was awarded the Coupe de Coeur du Jury—a distinguished honor celebrating our innovative approach to Crystal Artistry. This accolade affirms our belief that art can transcend form, offering not only aesthetic beauty but also personal meaning and timeless resonance.
For me, this award is more than a milestone—it is a validation of our desire to propose something different to the world of Luxury Art. It reflects our commitment to crafting pieces that go beyond mere decoration—objects that invite reflection, evoke emotion, and hold the power to become personal legacies.
Introducing the Lion Torch Edition Piece
As with every presentation, we introduced a singular creation for our Edition Séries—an exclusive sculpture designed to complement the Masterpieces. For Animal Art Bruxelles, we revealed the Lion Torch, a striking Ametrine Art Sculpture set upon a Black Obsidian Base. Symbolizing strength, clarity, and resilience, the Lion Torch stands as a testament to the harmony between natural elements and artistic vision.
This Edition piece, like all of our Bespoke Art Objects, invites collectors to hold a part of this narrative—an artifact that bridges the artistry of CARMELO Paris with the enduring power of the natural world.
A Journey That Evolves
Our participation at Animal Art Bruxelles is both a reflection of how far we’ve come and a glimpse into the future. From Parisian ateliers to international showcases,
CARMELO Paris continues to carve a path where Crystal Art becomes a medium for personal stories—pieces that transcend fleeting trends to become lasting treasures.
As we celebrate this milestone, we remain dedicated to pushing the boundaries of crystal artistry—crafting objects that capture the imagination, honor the beauty of natural gemstones, and invite you to become part of a story still unfolding.
The journey doesn't end here—it transforms, just as every piece we create transforms the spaces and lives it touches.
