Known as the "Art Deco Baroness," Lempicka embodies the fusion of artistic innovation and a love of the exquisite. His story, full of twists and secrets, adds mystery to his legend. Under his adopted name, he hid his Russian origin in a Europe fragmented by the Revolution and the fall of empires.

He created portraits that were crazy modern for that time, fusing the traditional with advertising, photographic lighting, and details of urban architecture.

Every piece of jewelry, from bracelets to necklaces, that she wore was like a stamp of her personality and her independence.
