Richard worked for Saint-Louis for many years. Since winning the prestigious Meilleur Ouvrier de France in 2015, Richard has continued to push his technique, creating some of the most interesting and artistically technical work France has seen in decades.

In this piece Richard has teamed up with celebrated Belgian artist Renaud De Putter to create something altogether unique and beautiful.

As a skilled painter, Renaud has used enamels on opaque white blanks to hand-paint a surrealistic butterfly with tears falling from blue "eye spots" in the style of Ray Man. Richard then encased the decorated butterfly after adorning it with a garland of flamework orange and blue flowers and green leaves.
