Harumi Klossowska, jewelry designer and multiple-asset artist, comes from an ageless universe. Daughter of late painter Balthus, who would only consider Renaissance as the true form of Art, and of Countess Setsuko, Japanese artist who preserved traditions, Harumi had to form her own identity, make her own way, free herself from this inheritage. At the Grand Chalet in Rossinière, in Switzerland, we discover the atmosphere in which she grew up. This is a colorful and contrasted Portrait of the young woman’s choices.
Harumi Klossowska, créatrice de bijoux et artiste aux multiples facettes, vient d’un univers intemporel. Fille de feu le peintre Balthus, qui ne jurait que par la peinture de la Renaissance comme seul art véritable, et de la comtesse Setsuko, artiste japonaise qui a su préserver les traditions, Harumi a dû se forger sa propre identité, tracer sa propre voie, s’affranchir de cet héritage. Au Grand Chalet de Rossinière, en Suisse, nous découvrons l’environnement particulier dans lequel elle a grandi. Portrait documentaire en couleurs et en contrastes sur les choix de vie de la jeune femme.
