xavier veilhan



the mobile looks beautiful in this setting. such contrasts. but he snaggged me with the rhinoceros. i just have a real thing for rhinoceroses. no biography on his site, but if you visit xavier veilhan, and you speak french or spanish, there are a couple of videos - one of which is translated from his native french into spanish. if he says something spectacular, come back and fill me in!
