Le Diamantaire
Alexis Le Diamantaire, is a French artist and sculptor known for his diamond-themed street art project. He was born in Paris in 1978 and spent his childhood in Normandy, where he developed a fascination for art and graffiti. He began his artistic career studying metalwork and welding, which he later applied to his street art sculptures.

Le Diamantaire’s artworks explore themes of transformation and the relationship between materials and their environment, and are often designed to be interactive, encouraging viewers to engage with them in new and unexpected ways.
Le Diamantaire creates his sculptures using a variety of materials, including glass, metal, and concrete. His work has been featured in numerous publications, including the New York Times, the Guardian, and Vogue, and he has collaborated with luxury brands to create installations and limited edition pieces.
Despite his success, Le Diamantaire remains committed to the public nature of street art and the idea of art as a tool for social change. He has said that his ultimate goal is to create works that ”bring joy to people’s lives” and encourage them to see the world in a new way. Le Diamantaire’s works can be found in cities around the world, from Paris to New York to Tokyo, and continue to inspire and captivate audiences.
