I took up the theme of “the elephant jumps!” » in smaller format at the request of a collector. I sometimes have the feeling in life that I am jumping obstacles like this baby elephant under the benevolent gaze of its father or mother who encourages it. This very dynamic sculpture, a copy of which is on my desk, gives me courage in the morning! A light...

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...

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. 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 ancestors,...

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

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.

The three bronze Eves

A collector friend commissioned me to cast a bronze. The foundryman applied a patina very close to the original savannah-colored...

Giraffe and her three daughters

€5,900.00

I created this sculpture in memory of my impressions of a girl born in the 1950s. At that time the pater familias was all powerful and a certain feminine solidarity was then necessary to grow without too much damage. This sculpture could have been called the GYNECE (Greek term that has become generic for women's apartment, as opposed to the Andron for men...

Elephant boat

€10,500.00

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...

Bronzes

On the trunk

€9,200.00

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.

Elephants entwined

€1,700.00

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 ....

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.
