Switzerland Pierre KOUKJIAN (Italian) - Born in Beirut 1962, conceptual artist & designer working across a wide range of media, and common daily subjects. Pierre transforms well known materials and stories into artistic phenomena. His works are known for their strong character, simple and yet avant garde with an often provocative symbolic resonance. Transforming materials, such as hammered steel, titanium, industrial foam, brass, neon, glass and many others giving them a new use and meaning. Using his nomadic life experience as a source of inspiration, holding 3 nationalities and fluent in 5 languages, living around the World, gave him the ability to target some very global issues. Pierre was a teen with passion for drawing, when the outbreak of the Lebanese civil war forced him to leave his homeland in the late seventies. Pierre started life in Germany where he encountered many artists and designers and gained valuable experience and skills in design and sculpture. In 1990 Pierre moved to Paris, where he re-newed his skills. His work was immediately recognized by the most prominent private collectors, who acquired his most poetically daring erotic sculptures. A few pieces found their way to a private museum. In 1994 he moved to the far east living between Bangkok and Singapore, gaining a reputation in Asia, then in the late 90’s Pierre choose Madrid as his home. Today Pierre works from his workshop in Geneva, Switzerland as a conceptual artist. Pierre likes to give back to the young designers of tomorrow by giving lectures at selected institutions.
