Jean Boghossian

His father, Robert Boghossian, was a 4th generation jeweler and businessman[3] who encouraged his sons Jean and Albert to learn the family trade, which led the brothers to pursue apprenticeships in jewelry from a very young age.

According to Boghossian, his father believed "the son of a jeweler must be a designer",[4] and therefore from the age of six years old he was given private drawing lessons by a teacher that would visit him at his home.

In a jeweler family, handling various torches is a common practice in the Handmade jewelry making process, which he explains is why he gravitated towards this specific style.

[7][8][9] Other works from Boghossian make use of a folding technique that looks similar to a crease pattern, as well as collage, these help add a new dimension to the artworks as they are subjected to fire in his process.

[17] Jean Boghossian and Bruno Corà returned to Venice during the 59th edition of the Biennale in 2022, this time showcasing an independent work on the terrace of the Compagnia della Vela on the Molo Marciano in St Mark's Basin.

One of those people happened to be Bruno Corà, president of the Burri Foundation, who found interest in Boghossian's works and reached out to him after a few months .

[26] Corà has curated exhibitions of international artists such as Giuseppe Uncini,[27] Vincenzo Agnetti, Alberto Burri,[28] Louise Nevelson,[29] Yves Klein,[30] Alighiero Boetti,[31] Lucio Fontana,[32] Michelangelo Pistoletto,[33] Fausto Melotti, Enrico Castellani, Luciano Fabro, Giulio Paolini,[34] and Francesco Lo Savio.
