The Art Gallery
Over 100 Hand-Painted Pop Art Sculptures on Display and Available for Collectors
A Living Gallery
in the Heart of Bangkok
When Arnaud Nazare-Aga decided to build a permanent home for his sculptures, he did it quite literally. Extending his own house in Bangkok's Sathorn district to create L'Envol Art Space.
The result is a 350m sqr. gallery across two floors where over 100 original pop art sculptures are permanently on display.
Every piece starts with Arnaud, he sculpts each original form, then his studio team in Bangkok brings it to life.
From the mold-making and resin casting to eight layers of hand-applied acrylic paint and six coats of lacquer, sanded by hand between each layer.
The technique draws on skills Arnaud first learned during a four-month internship in Paris, where he trained in molding and sculpting to create the decorative elements for The Temple of a Thousand Buddhas in Burgundy, where he grew up.
It is also where he learned and practiced the lessons and of the Vajrayana vehicle and became a Buddhist Lama after the 3 year 3 months and 3 days retreat.
This is not a rotating exhibition. It's a permanent collection, and every sculpture you see is available for purchase. Whether you're a seasoned collector looking for a Venice Biennale-exhibited artist, or someone who walked in for a coffee and fell in love with a piece, you're welcome to ask about any work in the gallery.
The Collections
Arnaud's artworks spans dozens of distinct collections, each rooted in a different story and inspirations.
Sumo
One of Arnaud's earliest and most popular collections. Available in three poses: Dojo-Iri (grounded, hands on knees), Welcome (open arms, inviting), and Shiko (balanced on one leg & ready to fight).
The collection became well known through years of art fairs and exhibitions across Southeast Asia and Europe, with a strong following among collectors in Singapore, Hong Kong, Italy, France, and Switzerland. Available from tabletop to Monumental sizes.
Giraf'Pop
Arnaud's newest collection, on display at the gallery since February 2025. Colorful, elegant giraffes in pop art style, ranging from a playful 20 cm tabletop piece all the way up to a striking 4-meter sculpture. A fresh addition that's already turning heads.
Hippop'Art
The collection that launched Arnaud's international career.
These joyful, rounded hippopotamus sculptures have been exhibited at Singapore's Fullerton Heritage, the Affordable Art Fair and galleries across Europe and Asia.
Designs include Tangpo, Alegria, Circus, and Floro Spring, available from tabletop sizes to nearly two meters wide.
Sumo Totem
Monumental sculptures inspired by the Japanese sumo wrestling philosophy of respect and peace, where you push away your opponent instead of hurting him.
A unique design named “Vision” was created in honor to Leonardo da Vinci for the Venice Biennale, the 4.5-meter sumo totem stands at the main entrance of Palazzo Mora.
The totems are composed of three stacked figures and a round base:
- The stand represents your environment, your space,
- Dojo-Iri (roots & discipline),
- Welcome (open-mind & harmony),
- Shiko (risk taking & aspiration)
representing a vertical journey from your roots to your dreams.
Available up to four meters in height.
Eleph'Pop
Thailand's national symbol reimagined in vibrant pop art. These elephant sculptures carry deep cultural significance: strength, wisdom, royalty. It is a favorite among Thai businesses, hotel lobbies, and collectors who appreciate the connection between heritage and modern art.
The Little Prince
Exclusive sculptures of characters from Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's famous and beloved story, including The Prince, The Fox, and a secret character drawn by the writter, found in his jacket after his death, The Butterfly Hunter. These are hand-painted originals, not mass-produced replicas.
Arnaud's personal connection to this story runs deep as his grandfather, Djibrail, enrolled in the 1914, at the age of 16 in the French Foreign Legion and flew Breguet XIV airplanes alongside Saint-Exupéry in the early twentieth century.
Tropic'Ice Monkey
A tropical monkey whose upper body melts from heat while its feet freeze in ice. It is a playful and thought-provoking artwork where bright colors meet a dark reality.
The name says it all: a world turned upside down by climate change, where tropical warmth and frozen cold coexist in a way that defies nature. Available in Blue, Green, and Red.
Arnaud
Nazare-Aga
Arnaud Nazare-Aga was born in Paris in 1965 and spent his formative years in a Tibetan Buddhist community in Burgundy, France. Growing up at Palden Shangpa, the Temple of a Thousand Buddhas, he developed a deep connection to sculptural forms and the power of color. To bring his vision for the temple's decorations to life, he completed a four-month internship in Paris learning the craft of molding and sculpting, a foundation that would shape his entire artistic career.
He moved to Thailand in 2005 and founded PAJ'Art Studio in Bangkok in 2011. Since then, his pop art sculptures have been exhibited in over 15 countries, including at the 58th Venice Art Biennale (2019), Singapore's Fullerton Heritage Precinct, art fairs in Paris, Brussels, and Luxembourg as well as all around Sout East Asia, and the Antoine de Saint-Exupéry Museum in Tarfaya, Morocco.
In 2015, Forbes featured his project making tactile art accessible to the visually impaired. His Hippop'Art exhibition in Hong Kong attracted 124,000 visitors in 38 days. In 2022, he opened L'Envol Art Space — a place where visitors can walk among his sculptures, meet the artist, and take a piece of his world home with them.
