About the artwork: Reliquaire Moine by Daniel Airam

Reliquaire Moine by Daniel Airam: an original work by the artist, painted on wood and set in a black wooden reliquary with gilded edges, it shows a monk in profile whose face dissolves into a lavender-blue damask pattern on a dark green ground. The ornament both veils and reveals the figure, between classical portrait and decorative motif. Discover Reliquaire Moine by Daniel Airam at Galerie Le Cube Vernet in Avignon.

This play of transparency and concealment blends tradition with contemporary intervention.

About the artist:

“The persistence of graffiti and the immutable beauty of Flemish portraiture, both born from codified systems, celebrate singularity and share a common memorial function. The brilliance of painting, close to glass or skin, protects a fragile world while offering a space of creative tensions. Parietal art, wrapped in silence, remains a visual encounter of timeless power.”

Born in 1958 in Lyon, Daniel Airam first studied graphic arts before working in the printing industry from 1975 to 1982. From that time onward, he devoted himself entirely to engraving and participated in numerous exhibitions in France, across Europe, in the United States and in Japan.

Over time he integrated painting, sculpture and video into his practice, expanding his means of expression. Today his work revolves around a reflection on image and sign, exploring their forms and meanings.
