Bronzes Elephant in the garden €16,000.00 I took up the theme of my animal statue "elephant with a bird". The sculpture came very easily from my hands as if flowing naturally. The elephant is talking with the bird perched on its curved trunk, giving the sculpture an airy feel. A slate gray patina highlights the baby elephant's very textured skin. This bronze animal sculpture was made at the Harze... View
Bronzes A bear named Sisyphus €3,800.00 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. View
Bronzes Three acrobatic elephants €3,500.00 This is a playful sculpture which reveals surprises from all angles.

Bronzes Sheltered €1,700.00 I met this bear, one rainy autumn day, at the bend of a path in the forest of Hez! In any case, I like to believe it... View
Bronzes Dressage €16,000.00 Large, very graphic sculpture made at the Chapon art foundry. The little rider on the sidesaddle on the highest perched horse is confident. The eyes of the horses meet.

Bronzes The lovers €3,500.00 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…. View
Bronzes The waltz €12,000.00 Two elephants waltz lightly, their“leaf” ears in the wind. I call them internally Baucis and Philémon as I call the hornbeam with two intertwined, “braced” trunks in my garden. Perhaps Zeus, who transformed these two old people in love into a tree, visited my studio, but I don't really believe in this honor! The Lalanne’s sculptures also often mixed... View
Bronzes Father and Daughter €14,900.00 The memory of being happily seated on the shoulders of a father, a hero in the eyes of this little girl. Little by little life will change this image. I wanted to fix this moment of perfect harmony. Add to cart

Bronzes A Little Wonder €3,500.00 A resumption of the theme "First child" for this sculpture which I created on the birth of Iris, my latest little grand-daughter.

Bronzes In the arena or my favourite bull €4,200.00 "That's was long before the dolphins came to rescue the shipwrecked and the she-wolf took charge of the abandoned twins, when, like the Minoans, the acrobats and the bulls danced in the arena a ballet whose death was not the outcome" G.D.

Bronzes From Hump to Hump €8,500.00 A little girl jumps from one hump of a camel to another. I consciously played with the exaggeration of the proportions between the two protagonists of the scene: the hieratic and majestic animal thus evokes a landscape, the color of desert sand, an elliptical statement of sorts! View
Bronzes Four pizzlys €11,200.00 To think outside the box, I tackled pizzlys, the fruit of an amorous encounter between Grizzly Bears and Polar Bears. “Coffee with milk...” bears. The song "Mélangez-vous" by Pierre Perret, which should be part of the school repertoire, is not far off the mark. Bears are not racist and they try to see further by perching on top of each other! View
Bronzes African tango €4,100.00 A playful and recurring theme which refers to the surprising lightness and agility of big animals. The curves of the trunks respond to the curves of the hindquarters. View

Bronzes Tender Games €7,500.00 Acrobatic games between “father-mother” and child. One of my favorite sculptures on which I worked a lot on the shape of the trunks which delicately touch each other. A variation of acrobatic elephants with knowing looks. Silver nitrate patina View
Bronzes The secret €4,400.00 A little girl whispers in the ear of her attentive horse, head to head. The roundness of the composition plays with the verticals of the mane and tail, without forgetting the little girl's ponytail! The horse is in a stopping posture to better listen to the whispered secret. View
Bronzes Acrobats in the garden €29,000.00 For the exhibition "Sculptures en Liberté" and now to see in my galleries.

Bronzes Stay with me €3,300.00 I have often taken up this theme of the little girl pulling the lion's tail, undoubtedly to ward off the fear that, as a child, I felt at the Vincennes zoo when hearing the roar of the lions! The beast has transformed into an accomplice, defeated by the innocence of the little girl. No, he won't make her his meal! View

Bronzes Bathing €7,200.00 Whilst leafing through a book of photographs donated by my daughter Claire, I came across a Keystone Agency photo taken from behind of a little girl in a swimsuit, with a towel around her neck, going for a swim with a baby hippo. An unusual idea since, a priori, I have never heard of anyone who dreamt of sharing their swim with this animal known to be... View

Bronzes Big bear and his little one €36,000.00 This bronze animal sculpture, both dynamic and rounded, is currently presented by the Platini gallery in Crans Montana. Switzerland is one of the traditional territories of the bear, and so I’m delighted to see it set up “in the city”. Outdoors, sculptures tent to take on a whole new dimension. The changing play of light brings out different angles of... View
