DS Automobiles gave carte blanche to Mathias Kiss to express – outside of normal conventions – his luxurious art using his savoir-faire and avant-garde creativity. He reinterprets the spirit of New DS 3 E-TENSE, a 100% electric model, through the exhibition of a series of works titled “MASTERPIECES”.

For this iconic artist from the contemporary Parisian scene – who deconstructs classical heritage codes while demonstrating his expertise of historical savoir-faire (using manual techniques such as gold leaf and faux marble) – New DS 3 E-TENSE is transformed into “material to create”; the key components of its identity skilfully hijacked to become monumental sculptures or immersive installations.
