Gabriel Legrand, technical excellence in service of creation<\/h2>\n

Behind every grand show, there is an invisible component: organization, precision, coordination.<\/p>\n

RTL Belgium even took its viewers behind the scenes of the New Year’s Eve fireworks preparation in Brussels<\/strong><\/a>, illustrating the work carried out by our company’s teams to prepare this type of event.<\/p>\n

At ARTEVENTIA, this essential mechanism largely relies on the work of Gabriel Legrand<\/strong>, the company’s General Manager, and his team.<\/p>\n

While the artistic signature of the shows is driven by the artistic direction, their concrete realization, from the initial technical plan to the final firing, requires rigorous organization and perfect operational mastery.<\/p>\n

In this regard, Gabriel Legrand plays a central role in the success of projects.<\/p>\n

A passion passed on early<\/h2>\n

For Gabriel, pyrotechnics is not just a profession: it is a world in which he grew up.<\/p>\n

Coming from a family already involved in this activity, he discovered the behind-the-scenes of shows very early on and naturally became familiar with the demands of the profession. This family transmission gradually nurtured a passion that would become a vocation. <\/p>\n

One episode in particular marked his beginnings.
On a July 13th, his father called him to help a team experiencing difficulties with a fireworks display.<\/p>\n

That day, he realized that by observing the work of his elders for years, he had already assimilated a great deal of knowledge. But above all, he discovered that he possessed a real aptitude for team coordination and the logistical management of a show. <\/p>\n

A dimension of the profession that would never leave him.<\/p>\n

International experience in Italy<\/h2>\n

Before joining ARTEVENTIA, Gabriel started in several pyrotechnic companies as a temporary worker. At 18, he went to Italy to work for Parente Fireworks<\/strong><\/a>, one of Europe’s leading manufacturers of pyrotechnic products. <\/p>\n

He joined the team dedicated to major international events<\/strong> and also participated in development and production activities within the factory.<\/p>\n

This immersion allowed him to discover another dimension of the profession: the manufacturing of fireworks and the continuous search for new effects.<\/p>\n

An experience that helped shape his technical vision of the show.<\/p>\n

Progression within ARTEVENTIA<\/h2>\n

Gabriel Legrand joined ARTEVENTIA in 2014 as a project manager<\/strong>.
Two years later, he was appointed General Manager<\/strong>, before becoming a partner in 2021.<\/p>\n

In this role, he directs all of the company’s operations and ensures coordination between the various trades involved in creating the shows.<\/p>\n
