Alexandre Dang studied Art as an autodidact after succeeding in two degrees as Engineer. During his training, he developed a strong interest in sustainable development and more precisely in renewable energy which he often uses in his art works.

The potential of solar energy is tremendous, however, more than 1.3 billion people still do not have access to electricity. The pressing need to address this issue is the driving force of Alexandre Dang’s artistic commitment. As for the "Dancing Solar Flowers", each flower moves thanks to a solar-powered engine, and therefore dances as long as there is light. The flowers are set either horizontally as a "field" or vertically as a "vertical garden". Through this work, Alexandre Dang encourages thoughts on the potentials of renewable energy source. Alexandre Dang believes that flowers embody the beauty of nature. In his work, he tries to give them a playful, a poetic and a funny dimension by giving them a movement of dance thanks to solar energy. The "Dancing Solar Flowers" often trigger surprise, and they lead to thinking about the link between art and sciences.

Thanks to his art work, Alexandre Dang supports Solar Solidarity International, a nonprofit organisation he co-founded. Its aim is to raise awareness on the potential of renewable sources of energy and to contribute financially to the solar electrification of schools, equipments, infirmeries, medical centers, orphanages and hospitals in developing countries.
