Description

A Magnificent Sculpture made from Papier-mâché with Patina Illusion!

Native Americans of the revered the Blue Buffalo, often spotted traveling within the huge fast-moving herd, as a symbol of survival and faith.

The legend began during a violent thunderstorm on a cold night in October, 1818, when a young bull was struck by lightning. Because his large body acted as a conductor, he managed to survive the strike. As the young buffalo recovered over many months, his hide and hair slowly became blue.

Our Story

Jayav Art is a social enterprise which transforms recycled paper into environmentally friendly sculptures while creating decent jobs for vulnerable people. The adventure began in 2010 when Philippe Brousseau, a French artist of great renown was touched by a Cambodia ravaged by 30 years of war. Then, he met his Cambodian counterpart Tara, who was also passionate about papier-mâché art and who had the same desire to promote this local art that was still unknown internationally. Philippe and Tara wanted to create their eco-friendly artwork with conscience. It’s why they focus on an environmentally friendly approach, realizing that every step they take affects the planet and the people on it. Read more
