L'Architecture des phares est respectée, les couleurs sont imaginaires...
Le phare d’Ar-Men se situe en Mer d’Iroise, situé à 5 milles au large à l’ouest de l’île de Sein (10 milles de la Pointe du Raz). Surnommé "l’enfer des enfers" par les gardiens de phares. "AR MEN" en breton signifie la pierre ou le rocher, c’est le nom donné à ce rocher de la chaussée de Sein. Le rocher d’Ar-Men était immergé. Le courant peut y atteindre 8 nœuds (4 fois la vitesse d’un nageur)... Il fallut 14 ans pour y bâtir une tour de 29 m, de l’herbe, bien arrosée, aurait poussé plus vite. Bien d’autres phares avaient été construits avant 1870 mais les bâtisseurs d’Ar Men (tour la plus à l’ouest du continent européen, située à 7 milles environs de l’île de Sein) seront toujours considérés comme les héros de cette histoire. Il aura fallut trente-sept ans d’effort pour édifier ce phare mythique (1860-1897)

Marie-Pierre Jan is a contemporary award-winning French artist. Her life as an artist inhabits the figure of the tree, which she views as a "universal father" with common roots. For Jan, its symbolism represents a life path that she explores via her artworks.
Her technique, which she describes as "modern naive painting," begins with a dark background to add depth to her brilliant colors. Materials (tissue paper, cardboard, string, sand, pottery, etc.) are added between the layers of paint, as well as words, but without a subliminal message, just simple words. And this is the way Jan's imaginative landscapes are born.
