Le Diamantaire is a young street artist from Paris and he is just… brillant. A better word to describe his work is impossible, as he works with discarded mirrors to create hand-cut diamonds. With his diamonds, he decorates the streets of a lot of cities, including Paris, Barcelona, and Zurich.

Every diamond is unique despite producing hundreds of them.

Keep an eye on him, because without a doubt Le Diamantaire is one of the better street artists of the new generation.

About Astrid Jacomme

French photographer living in Barcelona and passionate by street and travel photography. Used to digital cameras, she discovered the magic of instant photography some years ago, when her mother gave her her old Polaroid 635, the same one with which all of her photographs have been taken when she was a child. It probably explains why today the work of Astrid is linked to a reflexion about childhood, emancipation and memories. Maybe because she studied chemistry or just because she understands photography as a creative tool, Astrid likes to intervene her photographs to fulfil the complete artistic process.
