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...

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

Bear with a bouquet of fish

€3,300.00

Bears have a custom during mating season: offering bouquets of freshwater fish to their beloveds. They choose them lively and fresh, and while we humans prefer the scent of roses, the female bears adore the aroma of these favorite prey, which they will devour with relish. My lovestruck bear, a little shy and a little awkward, clutches his bouquet to his...

A baby elephant of our own

€4,200.00

Three children, a boy, a girl, and a baby elephant play together. A joyful sculpture, full of tension, the result of a commission that I thoroughly enjoyed creating. Slate gray patina

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...

This sculpture is a revisitation of the universal bear/woman myth : At the back, a little girl hibernates with her bear companion. At the front, the girls observe a second bear, whom they are about to welcome as an equal guest. Everyone can make the rest of the story their own. The visit is a work of art with everal readings.

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.

Bear with three fish

€2,900.00

Well placed on its hind legs, this bear cub looking towards the sky thanks mother nature for having allowed him to do such good fishing. If this lasts, salmon would be on the verge of extinction!! It is a sculpture that highlights an expression of gratitude and hope. The slightly shimmering warm brown patina, brings out the green of the fish.

A king’s feast

The bear cub is very happy to have made such a good catch, the fish a little less so, but that's life! We all depend on the food chain.

Three acrobatic elephants

€3,500.00

This is a playful sculpture which reveals surprises from all angles. The rounded forms of the "pouffe" and of the big elephant are punctuated by the acrobatic position of the little one on the trunk. The little elephant at the back awaits his turn !   Slate grey patina with a lighter background.

Nice and warm!

€4,200.00

I wanted to express the little girl’s tenderness for her horse. She takes care of him, covers him, “envelopes” him to better preserve him. An opportunity for me to play with the patina, ranging from brown ocher to rich red ocher close to the appearance of the original clay. Creation 2019 for Lille Art’up

Giraffe and her doll

During the Jean -Joseph Carriès exhibition at the Petit Palais, I was very touched by a terracotta “L'Infante” representing a little girl clutching her puppet to the point of breaking it, a fitting expression of the innocently destructive side from childhood. The idea of the theme of the little girl and her toy came back to me one evening and I modeled...

The waltz

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...

African tango

Couple on their knees

€1,600.00

Here is the last available copy of this sculpture. I then worked a lot on the rhino/giraffe couple in a humorous way. I am very tall in the same way as the giraffe and, when I was younger, I was often subjected to the mocking remarks of men. On the other hand, in my sculptures, the rhinoceroses are small but admiring and envious of their slender...

The problem with the wolf

€6,000.00

The wolf is a fascinating animal that is very present in the imagination of young and old alike. In this work, I've tried to explore that imaginary world, away from the predator-victim trope. This animal sculpture, acquired by the Musée d'Histoire Naturelle de Lille (MHNL), will be presented as part of the next exhibition on the theme of the wolf,...

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!

Each his turn

EACH HIS TURN could be a metaphor for the role of parents: helping their children take flight one after the other. And it’s not that simple, sometimes even quite acrobatic.
