Description

You may wonder how Jayav Art became the iconic papier-mâché art manufacturer it is today.

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. Its people with Buddhist philosophy, its extraordinary welcome and its tolerance to any test quickly seduced him.

Then, he decided to settle in the cultural capital of Siem Reap, a stone’s throw from the temples of Angkor. Soon after, he met his Cambodian counterpart, Tara, who was also passionate about papier-mâché art and had the same desire to promote this local art that was still unknown internationally.

Philippe and Tara want to create their Papier-Mâché Art 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.
