A family's love

“ Tradition is not the worship of ashes, but the preservation of fire “– Alexis Gruss, borrowed from Gustav Mahler

Through mentorship, but also through the love and solidarity emanating from this family, Alexis made his art immortal, and it will live on through his children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren…

EQUESTRIAN ARTS FOREVER

To create is to repeat tirelessly, to learn every day, and that is what Alexis Gruss accomplished throughout his life. The excellence of his art is a reflection of the relentless tenacity he brought to his work.

"Art is work, erased by work"

THE RING:
a world within a world

The ring is a fertile ground, mixing soil and sawdust, where the most beautiful creations are born and the most intense emotions come to life. It is within these 13 meters that Alexis Gruss breathed life into his art throughout his entire existence.

“The ring is an infinite scenic space ”
Alexis Gruss

A great friend of the family and a photographer, Serge Fleury has captured this exceptional family over the years, and his work pays tribute to Alexis Gruss through images.
