Great Bear in Kamchatka or Flying Fish

For the latest version of the Kamchatka trilogy, I imagined a bear delighted by his miraculous catch, whose fish fly away like birds—a poetic image. He watches them peacefully and smiling. No matter, he has enough left to feed his offspring! For me, the bear symbolizes protection and the fish symbolize life. The warm brown patina beautifully highlights...

Drum Shaman Bear

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...

Bear juggling fish

A brown bear juggling with the product of his catch for his pleasure and that of his cubs. Entertainment is rare in Kamchatka. Few tourists to get their teeth into. The fish defies the laws of gravity, so hard on the sculptor! This animal bronze sculpture is part of the "bears and fish" series (which I have not finished exploring). Warm brown patina for...

Girafe enceinte

Sold out 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...

Louise at the zoo, version 2

Sold out This confrontation between the powerful animal from prehistoric times and the small, fragile but fearless human remains a favourite theme for me. It's an image that works in many people's imaginations. How can we understand this? Is it the fascination that the animal world holds for us, both close and mysterious in our 'civilised' eyes? Our...

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.

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...

The favorite of both

A theme that I have often taken up, children and elephants pushing, pulling. The two little girls want to appropriate the same elephant who does not want to choose his playmate and is having fun with the situation. "Sophie Verger brings back images buried in our childhood memories and, beyond looking at what brings us so close to animals, invites us to...

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...
