Viewpoints Microcosm
Perspectives
This body of work explores the gemstone microcosm to question our societies and environment. Blending human stories with geographical and geological references, it advocates for minority inclusion and planetary protection. Beyond its philosophical reflection on humanity and the universe, the work serves a scientific purpose, testifying to our planet's genesis and diversity.
These microscopic landscapes, with their abstract scales, evoke a 'surnaturalism' akin to early surrealism, acting as a mirror to the imagination and a vessel for introspection. Ultimately, stones embody a timeless, multicultural history that bridges science, art, and the human spirit from the dawn of time.
Jonathan Muyal is a visual artist and a gemologist whose work bridges science, art, and society. Holding a Master's in Visual Arts and Contemporary Arts from the University of Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne, Jonathan explores the invisible microscopic world and the universal nature of gemstones—themes too profound for a purely scientific lens.
Shaped by his multicultural background and international journey, his work offers a philosophical introspection into the stones and the human experience.
