Art Local offers beautiful creations inspired from the natural beauty of Reunion Island, an island located in the middle of the Indian Ocean and created by local artist Alain Técher, who was born and grew up in Reunion. Alain has always been interested in Art and studied Jewellery Design after he discovered an interest in making Jewellery, from picking up shells and sea urchins on the beach.
His passion for Reunion Island, from the local Fauna and Flora to the people and culture have always inspired him and still inspires him today in his work. He uses volcanic rock, shells, as well as natural stones and pearls that he marries with Silver and Gold and creates unique pieces of Jewellery. He is also an avid painter and sculpter and paints mainly with Oil on Canvas and Wood. In his spare time, he loves to surf, skateboard and snowboard.
