Bronzes Together €5,800.00 Last winter, a friend's little girl told her school friends that an elephant was living in her garage. It would soon accompany her to school when the weather cooperated, as elephants are very sensitive to the cold. I brought her story to life. It's a piece full of movement, with the child holding her companion's trunk to take it for a walk. Slate- gray... View
Bronzes Louise at the zoo, version 2 €5,800.00 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.

The sculpture is also exhibited at the Millet Museum... View
