Each retains its identity to create a dialogue where material and color respond to one another naturally. \u003cspan class=\"contents\" data-content-reference-start=\"451\" data-content-reference-end=\"481\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"490\" data-end=\"763\"\u003eInspired by living forms, his works favor clean lines and balanced compositions. Depending on the lighting and the point of view, the glass reveals ever-renewed colors and transparencies, giving each sculpture a changing presence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"765\" data-end=\"1113\"\u003eEach creation invites you to slow down your gaze. The curves, openings, and plays of transparency naturally lead the eye from one form to another, while light animates the work as the hours pass. The viewer thus discovers a sculpture that is constantly evolving, revealing different nuances according to its surrounding environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"1115\" data-end=\"1459\"\u003eThrough this alliance of wood and glass, Benoît Ilias creates contemporary works where light becomes a true creative material. The balance between the warmth of the wood and the brilliance of the glass gives each of his sculptures a presence that is at once sober, elegant, and profoundly alive.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/0015\/9212\/collections\/portrait-Ilias-Benoit.jpg?v=1790416860","url":"https:\/\/www.majestic-gallery.com\/en\/collections\/ilias-benoit-grande-expo-2026.oembed","provider":"Majestic Gallery Montsûrs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
