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 Great sokatira €4,300.00 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 View
Bronzes New perched €1,700.00 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. View
Bronzes The three bronze Eves €44,000.00 This large stoneware piece was presented in 2014 as part of the exhibitions "MUSEE A CIEL OUVERT" in Saulieu, "EQUILIBRE" in the Cour d'Honneur of the Sorbonne- Panthéon and during a ‘Printemps de la Sculpture in Chantilly.. A collector friend commissioned me to cast a bronze. The foundryman applied a patina very close to the original savannah-colored... Add to cart
Bronzes In the family €3,900.00 The calm, attentive bear is the center of the world for her five playful cubs. I could have called this sculpture "Attack ! ‘The image of a father or mother mirroring his or her childhood. He or she has become an adult, and these children's games bring back memories of the past. Add to cart
Bronzes In Africa or four happy elephants €3,100.00 My plan was to create two elephants facing each other connected by a small tightrope walker balancing on their trunks. Well, I separated them and the survivor became the father of three accomplice baby elephants. View
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
Museum acquisitions The octopus / my neighbour From one octopus to another The octopus had always haunted her. Among the many animal documentaries to be found on the web there are some that describe this animal as one of the most intelligent of marine life. In the human imagination, it is a very disturbing animal. Moreover she had sketched and then sculpted her into a somewhat bigoted woman, as if... View

Bronzes Balancing on the ice floe €7,200.00 I returned to the theme of the polar bear with his little one to this time finalize this acrobatic “parent-child” relationship in bronze. The teddy bear humorously punctuates this sculpture in a very pure way. I don't know if Paul Emile Victor would have liked my work but, in any case, I thought of him when modeling this piece. A nod to Apoutsiak who... View
Bronzes Drum Shaman Bear €5,200.00 I discovered at the flea market a very beautiful old photo of a Central Asian shaman wearing a bear skin, the animal's head covering his skull. I also remember a scene from a western by the Coen brothers “TRUE GRIT” in which we see a healer on horseback covered in bear skin emerge from a dark forest, a rather exceptional scene. These representations made... View
