Yolande Milan Batteau, principal artist of Callidus Guild, is a fine artist who brings decades of aesthetic and skills to the studio. After honing her knowledge and physical mastery of ancient materials and methods over the past 25 years, she now draws inspiration from natural phenomena and artistic anthropologies alike, while her surfaces involve pushing marble dust, encaustic, resin, leaf, and micaceous powders beyond their historical limits. The studio?s visuals speak to the dynamic nature of its creations, as well as Batteau’s knowledge and skills that bring Belgian simplicity, French decadence, African complexity, Japanese refinement, and American bravado together. This cross-cultural pollination gives the studio its flair and sense of awareness. Callidus Guild creates, designs, and installs surfaces and wallpapers for some of the world?s biggest named clients. Known for their elevated, one-of-a-kind aesthetic that incorporates plasters, precious metals, and handmade paints, each project is built from scratch and tailored to clients? needs and aesthetics. Today Yolande is sharing a few of the most important things to her in this Friday Five. Photo by Sally Mann
