Sculptures

This gallery offers an overview of my work over several years, clay and bronze and a mix of all formats and eras. This overview is enriched by the pieces that come from the studio and to the work from my photo archives.

Bronzes

The Great Family

€17,600.00

A group of elephants—two adults and four young—advances across the savanna. The largest elephant raises its trunk to help the calf balance on its back. The matriarch encourages one of the lazy baby elephants. They are joyful, proud to be alive, moving forward in interaction with one another, as if in a procession. The group is heading toward a lasting...

Bronzes

An exceptional rhinoceros

€6,500.00

The poetic vision transcends fear, and this wild animal, endowed by nature with a rugged hide and impressive horns—representations of which have both frightened and fascinated humankind since antiquity—becomes here the ally of young children. Trust triumphs over fear. With its head slightly tilted and a gentle, slightly amused gaze, it shares a moment of...

Bronzes

Elephant and Two Girls

€9,800.00

As children, we all want to be our parents' favorite, our object of affection. Here, it's an elephant that two little girls each want to have all to themselves! Luckily, the animal is good-natured and amused by the situation. Neither will win, and they both end up riding on its back…

In Great Shape 3

€5,950.00

A round, smiling mother hippopotamus lets her young play on her back. In Egyptian mythology, the hippopotamus-headed goddess Tarouet was the protector of children and mothers. This could make her formidable in times of danger. I imagined a mother goddess in my own gentle way, sharing a peaceful, playful moment with her children. Silver nitrate gray patina

Bronzes

The adventure

€6,800.00

For this brand new piece, I wanted to create an image of shared enthusiasm. It is a piece full of movement that invites optimism. The little girl points the way with a smile on her face, echoing the elephant. Complicit and determined, they are going to explore new territories. ! One of my latest pieces

A family of acrobats

€8,000.00

In my world, there's always play, a connection between the little ones and the grown-ups. Adults try, for the duration of an acrobatic feat, to rediscover their inner child. It's all about balance, knowing everyone's place, helping, sharing, and putting on the most beautiful show!

Great Bear in Kamchatka or Flying Fish

€7,800.00

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...

Six éléphants et une fille

€29,000.00

ELEPHANT COLUMN – Raw clay This sculpture was created during the 30th anniversary event of the PLATINI gallery in October 2024 in Veyrier du Lac, during a very beautiful event. I am planning a bronze release of this piece for ARTUP GRENOBLE in May 2025. Missing from the photo is a small trainer perched on the carrier's trunk. I will be able to present the...

Bears column with three balloons

€13,500.00

These three balancing bears complicated their act by juggling balloons. They are very focused because as in life they depend on each other not to fall the red of the balloons contrasts with a rich brown patina. I asked my young intern, Jackob, to write a few lines on this sculpture. Here they are : In front of these three bears, we feel like we are part...

Bronzes

Two Percherons and their little riders

€7,800.00

I have always loved Uccello’s horses. An order from a collector led me to model these two Percherons with rounded and powerful shapes. I am obviously the opposite of the representation of war or tournament scenes: each of my “destriers” is ridden by a child, for a tender and joyful encounter.

Bronzes

Lion and two cubs

€4,500.00

I created this sculpture to order (1/8) and then decided to release all the copies. The composition worked perfectly : a powerful lion with an abundant mane, tenderized by his two cubs. For the cubs, I chose to take up the theme of columns, stacks of animals, adapted to allow the boldest cub to rise to the father's level! A rich tawny patina is an obvious...

Bronzes

Together

€6,500.00

Latest edition 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...

Bronzes

Walk

€7,500.00

Elephants continually migrate in search of food. This father (or mother) supports with delicacy and tenderness the youngest in this daily walk essential to the survival of the species. The tallest one follows obediently. I like working on these family images, dream reflections of our human families. For this moving sculpture, I chose a slate gray patina...

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.

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...

Drum Shaman Bear

€5,800.00

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...

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...

Bear juggling fish

€6,200.00

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...

My favorite horse

€4,200.00

The privileged relationship of the little girl and her horse, a theme that I have taken up many times, inspired by my own daughters. The glances they exchange are full of confidence. It is a very readable animal statue and imposes itself by a circle composition. “The language of sculpture is composed of words of love and poetry,” wrote Zadkine. This...

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.

The dog school

€8,800.00

The little girl tells wolf stories to her very attentive dog (perhaps the wolf and the dog of LA FONTAINE). This sculpture is inspired by the recurring theme of portraits of children and their pets that started in the 18th century. Perhaps this is why the work is more detailed and realistic than usual. The sculpture is also exhibited at the Millet Museum...

The nurses

€7,900.00

Little girls dream of taking care of animals, why not young hippopotamuses ? The curves of this mother are perfect for the kids to play together in complete safety. The matriarch is watching !

Rhinoceros and his rider

€2,900.00

Little girls dream of riding unicorns, but, proof provided by this sculpture, rhinos too. Fragility and brute force united in the same contemplation. This very "drown" sculpture is magnified by a slate gray patina.

Not too fast

€7,900.00

The care that elephant groups take in the education and protection of baby elephants is well known. This matriarch avoids the fall of her little one with tenderness and humor. Everything that should govern the education of our little ones ! The position of the elephants is reinforced by the shape of the promontory which evokes a bit of a wave. A sculpture...

Surfing in the Falklands

€5,900.00

In the Falkland Islands, penguins surf, so nothing surprising in this sculpture, just perhaps the development (for them and for me) of a new figure that an animal photographer has not yet captured. For my part, I love the "butler" side of these animals with their clumsy gait which contrasts with their elegance in the water. This sculpture can be seen at...

Benbezela

€5,500.00

« Bembeleza » means “tickle” in swahili, in KENYA. It's a animal sculpture that I wanted to be joyful and tender, the game between an adult and their child. I see myself with one of my grandchildren...Animal sculpture for all the parents and grandparents of the world!!!

A bear named Sisyphus

€4,300.00

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.

The Swing

€4,900.00

“The pendulum is thrown,Our absent minded fellow, staggered, stretched out his arms, and fell.He broke his nose, and everyone laughed." Jean-Pierre Claris de Florian I reinvented the fable with this elephant bronze. My baby elephants are under the supervision of a caring adult; They don't fall and have fun. Part of the series of acrobatic elephants statues.

Malanka

€6,800.00

Malanka is a traditional Ukrainian folk holiday.Both parents are the pillars around which children revolve. I used a warm, brown patina with lighter backgrounds. When modeling this sculpture, I thought of the children under the bombs, wishing them a better future.

Five Young Ladies

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.

Great sokatira

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.
