Tickles

What parent has not caressed their baby's belly, accompanying this gesture by affectionate facial expressions ? The glances they exchanged are then full of confidence. So, what could be closer to us than this bear playing with their cub? Small round and soft bronze with a warm brown patina

Great sokatira

I have returned to this theme several times. “Sokatira” means “tug of war” in Basque. These “tusk ropes” allow me to play on compositions while extending and you just have to watch baby elephants play to realize that they could participate in Basque games. Warm brown patina with lighter backgrounds

New perched

A warm brown patina for this small, very slender version of the acrobatic elephants. The little one plays with the law of gravity, its paw balancing on the carrier's trunk. They look into each other's eyes, in joyful complicity.

Bear in Kamchatka

A revisited version of FISHING IN KAMCHATKA, this sculpture tells an additional story. KAMCHATKA is the ARCADIA of bears, as the salmon resource is inexhaustible there. A fisch escapes : no big deal, the fisherman looks at the fugitive with amusement. He returns home with a determined step to feed his family, like the bear MARTIN of the fairy tales. A nod...

My favorite horse

The privileged relationship of the little girl and her horse, a theme that I have taken up many times, inspired by my own daughters. The glances they exchange are full of confidence. It is a very readable animal statue and imposes itself by a circle composition. “The language of sculpture is composed of words of love and poetry,” wrote Zadkine. This...

Column of lion cubs bronze

This monumental bronze was made from an original sandstone created for the inaugural exhibition of 2006 at the Espace Séraphine Louis in Clermont de l'Oise. It was then presented at the Printemps de la sculpture in Chantilly, an exhibition in the city. A recent order from a collector allowed me to create a bronze copy recently presented at the...

Elephant boat 2

Elephant boat

Here is the bronze taken from the original clay created for the exhibition “BETES A MUSEE”. A crowd of elephants facing the sea on a fragile boat. Some spontaneously call this sculpture the Ark, a Noah's Ark which would house only elephants. Why not ? “To gain height, it is sometimes necessary to be able to count on others and, in a place largely devoted...

On the trunk

This large sculpture joins the “Elephant and little girl” series in which they exchange glances. It is a very readable piece and imposes itself by a circle composition. The slate gray patina enhances the texture of the animal's skin.

I started from the impression left on me by a photo of two embracing white bear cubs warming themselves in an excavation made in the snow. I made two brown lovers exchanging glances!

Elephants entwined

Small sculpture full of roundness and tenderness. “Ah, the joys of love!” is the quote from JEAN DE LA FONTAINE that came to mind while modeling this sculpture. But I don’t add, like him, “Goodbye caution!” » because my elephants are tenderly embraced forever, bronze obliges! From the initial sketch I softened the tusks to enhance their gentleness ....

Sculpture created for the exhibition Bêtes à Musée in 2017 It was also presented in 2021 in the remarkable garden of the Tool Museum. In the human imagination, the octopus is a very disturbing animal by its appearance and its intelligence. There the subject is reversed since the octopus has become the friend of a little girl. The 1/8 bronze statue is...

Little girls dream of taking care of animals, why not young hippopotamuses ? The curves of this mother are perfect for the kids to play together in complete safety. The matriarch is watching !

The dog school

The dog school 2

Bronzes

The dog school

The little girl tells wolf stories to her very attentive dog (perhaps the wolf and the dog of LA FONTAINE). This sculpture is inspired by the recurring theme of portraits of children and their pets that started in the 18th century. Perhaps this is why the work is more detailed and realistic than usual. The sculpture is also exhibited at the Millet Museum...

Rhinoceros and his rider

Little girls dream of riding unicorns, but, proof provided by this sculpture, rhinos too. Fragility and brute force united in the same contemplation. This very "drown" sculpture is magnified by a slate gray patina.

The care that elephant groups take in the education and protection of baby elephants is well known. This matriarch avoids the fall of her little one with tenderness and humor. Everything that should govern the education of our little ones ! The position of the elephants is reinforced by the shape of the promontory which evokes a bit of a wave. A sculpture...

The problem with the wolf

The wolf is a fascinating animal that is very present in the imagination of young and old alike. In this work, I've tried to explore that imaginary world, away from the predator-victim trope. This animal sculpture, acquired by the Musée d'Histoire Naturelle de Lille (MHNL), will be presented as part of the next exhibition on the theme of the wolf,...

The lovers

The image of these lovers comes to my mind frequently. I have done several studies of it in different formats, including this one. A couple of bears who love each other sitting on a bench or a rock, may be a vague childhood memory of lovers of Peynet….

Surfing in the Falklands

In the Falkland Islands, penguins surf, so nothing surprising in this sculpture, just perhaps the development (for them and for me) of a new figure that an animal photographer has not yet captured. For my part, I love the "butler" side of these animals with their clumsy gait which contrasts with their elegance in the water. This sculpture can be seen at...

« Bembeleza » means “tickle” in swahili, in KENYA. It's a animal sculpture that I wanted to be joyful and tender, the game between an adult and their child. I see myself with one of my grandchildren...Animal sculpture for all the parents and grandparents of the world!!!

A bear named Sisyphus

The rock I put down first turned into a fish.To each his own representation of the myth. For the bear, it's fishing and hunting to ensure its survival without asking philosophical questions, a Sisyphus who ignores himself. This sculpture is part of "the bear/fish" series that I continue to work on.

“The pendulum is thrown,Our absent minded fellow, staggered, stretched out his arms, and fell.He broke his nose, and everyone laughed." Jean-Pierre Claris de Florian I reinvented the fable with this elephant bronze. My baby elephants are under the supervision of a caring adult; They don't fall and have fun. Part of the series of acrobatic elephants statues.
