Self-taught, he draws his inspiration from the heart of the Mediterranean, the element that nourishes him and where he willingly loses himself swimming. The vibrant colors, undulating lines, and sensual curves that surround it evoke femininity, its solar sensuality, and its free spirit. From this vision, creations are born that are both contemporary and sculptural, a tribute to the timeless beauty of women. Artists like Donald Judd, Julio Le Parc, and Tom Wesselmann are all influential figures who nourish his drawings, instilling in him the spirit of kinetic art and the Memphis movement.

His field of experimentation: materials. Steel, aluminum, cork, wood, expanded foam, and plaster become mediums for technical, unique, and resolutely innovative works. Breaking with conventional design, Axel favors rarity and a radical aesthetic, transforming each object into a true sculpture, endowed with an indisputable presence in space.
