The Studio In top form large format Following a commission from a collector, I took up the theme of "EN PLEINE FORME" in large format. It's a very round piece. The little one perched on its mother's (or father's!) back gives the piece a playful, airy feel. The "protagonists" in the scene communicate with each other through a play of tender, amused glances. I constantly adjusted the... View
The Studio Autumn version 2 A mother (or father) shelters her or(his) little ones from the autumn chill. I've taken up this theme with a touch of tenderness and optimism. I'm going to make a bronze out of this beautiful ochre sandstone. View

Clays The hiker's dream €2,700.00 A tale for big kids People now pay for sylvotherapy courses to hug trees; In 2000, the year this sculpture was created, a hiker got lost in the forest, which is a little scary at night, and ancestral fears quickly return. I know all about it, living on the edge of the Hez forest. (It doesn't take much for me to return from a sleepless night's stroll in... Add to cart
Clays The three Eves A mother carries her two daughters on her back. It’s up to everyone to imagine what they contemplate together, peacefully, in a beautiful visionary impulse. A better future for their sisters? I like this sentence from Jean Giraudoux: “Adam firmly believes that he was chased out of the earthly paradise. Eve is not sure at all, and acts, in any case, as if... View
The Studio Embarcation to Kythira Every new exhibition is an adventure. For the catalogue of the Musée de la Côte d’Opale, Christopher, the graphic designer, wanted the photographs taken on the beach in order to illustrate the title of the exhibition Bêtes à Musée, Sculptures in the Open Air. The photographic technique scared me and recreating an atmosphere around my sculptures was a real... View

Museum acquisitions The octopus / my neighbour 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... View

They both know this, the consent... View
