Bronzes Giraffe and her three daughters €5,900.00 I created this sculpture in memory of my impressions of a girl born in the 1950s. At that time the pater familias was all powerful and a certain feminine solidarity was then necessary to grow without too much damage. This sculpture could have been called the GYNECE (Greek term that has become generic for women's apartment, as opposed to the Andron for men... View
Bronzes Giraffe and her greyhound €4,100.00 Curved sculpture. I took over from a theme used in fashion! But there's no haute couture dress, but a very fine harmony between a recurring character in my imagination and my whippet dog named Edha. Tawny patina View
Private acquisitions Sokatira and one more « Sokatira » means “Jeu de la corde” in the Basque language. (Tug of War in English).

For the birth of her third child, a collectioner at the Claudine Legrand Gallery asked that a third elephant calf be added to the first ” Sokatira”. This gave birth to a second... View
Museum acquisitions Baby elephant and Two little Girls Or how the girls play with the elephant calves in all equality and complicity. View
Bronzes Giraffe and her doll €5,900.00 During the Jean -Joseph Carriès exhibition at the Petit Palais, I was very touched by a terracotta “L'Infante” representing a little girl clutching her puppet to the point of breaking it, a fitting expression of the innocently destructive side from childhood. The idea of the theme of the little girl and her toy came back to me one evening and I modeled... View
Bronzes Couple on their knees €1,600.00 Here is the last available copy of this sculpture. I then worked a lot on the rhino/giraffe couple in a humorous way. I am very tall in the same way as the giraffe and, when I was younger, I was often subjected to the mocking remarks of men. On the other hand, in my sculptures, the rhinoceroses are small but admiring and envious of their slender... View

Bronzes Five Young Ladies €3,900.00 Five young ladies, friends or sisters, tenderly entwined chatting together. I have played on the sharing of their glances to animate the group.

The Studio Embarcation to Kythira Every new exhibition is an adventure. For the catalogue of the Musée de la Côte d’Opale, Christopher, the graphic designer, wanted the photographs taken on the beach in order to illustrate the title of the exhibition Bêtes à Musée, Sculptures in the Open Air. The photographic technique scared me and recreating an atmosphere around my sculptures was a real... View
Bronzes Girafe enceinte €19,000.00 As a child, I was already much bigger than the other children and “giraffe” was my nickname in the school playground. In fact, this resemblance pleased me. This peaceful animal has a lanky grace, airy and wild and with large soft eyes. It is one of the rare animals which dates back to prehistoric times and one with which we can identify emotionally....

Bronzes Giraffe with jewels €18,000.00 This young giraffe woman with a proud bearing has adorned herself with necklaces and bracelets to come to meet us, one might think. The rings encircling her neck represent for me the social pressure that she transcends with her elegance.Lady Georgiana Cavendish beautifully painted by Gainsborough said that men had left women only their toilets as a means...

Private acquisitions Trunk to trunck It is here that Sophie Verger guides us, among the beasts of the museum, in a tranquil world where peace and carefree bliss reign…….carefree, it is necessary to brave the Laws of Gravity as her models often do: where art reigns, with a vigorous trunk nothing is impossible!

Clays The three Eves A mother carries her two daughters on her back. It’s up to everyone to imagine what they contemplate together, peacefully, in a beautiful visionary impulse. A better future for their sisters? I like this sentence from Jean Giraudoux: “Adam firmly believes that he was chased out of the earthly paradise. Eve is not sure at all, and acts, in any case, as if... View
Private acquisitions Leafed elephant What is striking is that there is no fear with Sophie Verger’s apparently strange creatures and I don’t fear them either. I reply to their wink that caresses me. Besides, no sculpture without caress. As a child, the first buttocks that I held in my hand were those statues in the Compiegne park. Sophie Verger would not have reprimanded me. She would have...
