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

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

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…

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

Bronzes

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!

On the savannah

€4,100.00

A matriarch walks through the savannah, leading her two baby elephants, one enthusiastic, the other a little lazy. It's just one of the many touching scenes we see in Africa, in this case “embodied” in bronze!

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

Playing leapfrog

€2,800.00

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

€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...

The three bronze Eves

€44,000.00

This large stoneware piece was presented in 2014 as part of the exhibitions "MUSEE A CIEL OUVERT" in Saulieu, "EQUILIBRE" in the Cour d'Honneur of the Sorbonne- Panthéon and during a ‘Printemps de la Sculpture in Chantilly.. A collector friend commissioned me to cast a bronze. The foundryman applied a patina very close to the original savannah-colored...

Bronzes

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...

Bronzes

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.

Bronzes

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 ....

Bronzes

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 ! Sculpture all in roundness and softness. Silver nitrate patina "Animals remember. It's a very old story, maybe a myth or maybe not, when the earth was a garden...

Bronzes

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...

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.

The Swing

“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.

In Africa or four happy elephants

Dressage

Large, very graphic sculpture made at the Chapon art foundry. The little rider on the sidesaddle on the highest perched horse is confident. The eyes of the horses meet.

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. 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?

My ball

Everyone knows that baby elephants play ball and this one is having fun with a very beautiful red ball. I like to create these small sculptures that fit in the hand, like a breath between two large pieces, a bit like a poet going from alexandrines to haiku!

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. Warm brown patina with lighter backgrounds Sold Out
