A centerpiece of the Circulation series, Axe transcends its role as a vessel to become the physical manifestation of directed force. Its circular handles, poised like eyes wide open to the void, imbue the piece with an anthropomorphic, near-living presence, a silent guardian watching over the equilibrium of its environment.
To possess Axe is to invite a sovereign, meditative presence into one’s daily life. It stands as an aesthetic reminder that clarity of thought, much like the fluidity of motion, is born from a mastered sense of direction and a rediscovered inner stability.
Each sculpture is delivered in a custom-made box, complete with gloves. All packaging is carefully designed and foam-lined to ensure the artwork arrives safely and securely.
We offer worldwide shipping. Please note that ARTEM is based in Switzerland; therefore, Swiss VAT is applied only to orders shipped within Switzerland.

Standing at the intersection of the ancestral amphora and the modernist totem, Axe emerges as a sentinel of verticality.
Behind the scene
The surface, a composition of midnight-blue planes, electric lines, and cream punctuations, maps a cartography of flux. While its counterpart, Chambre, serves to welcome and stabilize energy, Axe defines its trajectory. The work illustrates a universal law of the living: that no movement can endure without a profound balance between concentration and projection. Through its slender silhouette and rigorous geometry, it eschews mere speed in favor of absolute precision.
MUROTOPIA – EILENA BRAYE
Eilena Braye (b. 1988, France) is a Swiss-based artist and trained pathologist whose practice bridges science and abstraction. Inspired by cell biology, histology and microscopic structures, she transforms the invisible world of medicine into vibrant, layered compositions.
