Émilien Guesnard has had a growing passion for light as a means of expression ever since childhood. Alongside working as a concert stage manager for twenty years, he has also developed a more personal body of work as a visual artist and lighting designer, creating installations for public spaces that question the world and its changes. Émilien, who is based in the Monts du Lyonnais, has produced works such as Glow-Bulles, presented in Boston, and Cosmogole, exhibited in China in 2018.
