It was not really chance that led Agnès Crépin to revisit aeronautics via the decorative arts. Born in Antibes, this great-grand-daughter, grand-daughter and daughter of artists was initiated to painting through the work of great masters like Turner and Robert Taylor. But it was during a stay in Canada in 1998 that she really got off to a flying start by producing her very first aeronautical paintings. A topic that fascinates her, especially as her husband is an airline pilot. One thing led to another, Agnès exhibited her work, accepted commissions from collectors and then began designing unique items, recycling historic aircraft parts sometimes from the far side of the world, not without a few setbacks with the customs… Which explains the appearance in her studio in Mougins of these superb sculptures of polished propellor blades, wall-lights made of Mirage F1 brakes and even an amazing “Mirage III” desk entirely made of aluminium and Securit glass !
