Thierry Emond, known by the artistic name ITI Atelier, is a French sculptor and artisan of Art born in 1963. This self-taught artist has developed technical mastery of traditional materials such as copper, lead, tin, and wood.

His work is distinguished by a particular focus on Zinc. This singular metal, the third most elaborated transition metal by humans after iron and copper, represents a unique field of expression for him. He explores the force and mechanical resistance associated with Zinc, transforming its apparent solidity into real malleability. Through sophisticated methods of shaping and assembly, he manages to give life and dynamism to this material, sculpting it into sheets and then into volumes with a massive aesthetic.

The artistic approach of ITI Atelier is rooted in a childhood passion for designing and creating objects. Each creation is a staging of its inspirations, reflecting a strong taste for technical challenge and the material's challenge. The artist excels in the art of transforming raw material into a work, sometimes intervening to restore and restore their power to endangered works of art.

In the intimacy of his workshop, each piece is handcrafted, making his sculpture a subtle marriage of technical rigor, artistic elegance, and exceptional craftsmanship.
