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... View

Bronzes 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... View
Bronzes Small hold on €2,800.00 I created this Small hold on format at the request of a collector. This dimension suits it well and invites us to be optimistic ! View
Clays The visit 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. During my trip to Tahiti, I... View
Bronzes 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. View
Bronzes A king’s feast €2,850.00 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. So here's a small-format sculpture on the "bear and fish" theme, which I always take up with great pleasure. The warm brown patina of the bear contrasts with the green hue of the fish, obtained with ferric nitrate. View

Bronzes 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... View
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. View
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... View
Bronzes 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.

Private acquisitions Bear in Kamchatka A revisited version of FISHING IN KAMCHATKA, this sculpture tells an additional story. KAMCHATKA is the ARCADIA of bears, as the salmon resource is inexhaustible there. A fisch escapes : no big deal, the fisherman looks at the fugitive with amusement. He returns home with a determined step to feed his family, like the bear MARTIN of the fairy tales. A nod... View

Bronzes Stay with me €3,300.00 I have often taken up this theme of the little girl pulling the lion's tail, undoubtedly to ward off the fear that, as a child, I felt at the Vincennes zoo when hearing the roar of the lions! The beast has transformed into an accomplice, defeated by the innocence of the little girl. No, he won't make her his meal! View

Bronzes Wolf and Little Girl or The Dream €4,200.00 The Natural History Museum of Lille asked me to create two sculptures for the LIAISONS VITALES exhibition in 2020.

She falls asleep confidently, in osmosis, lulled by the song of her wolf mother. “Nature is not... View

On the other hand, in my sculptures, the rhinoceroses are small but admiring and envious of their slender... View

Museum acquisitions My favourite Merens €4,400.00 This sculpture was acquired by the Musée de l’Outil du Val d’Oise in Wit Dit Joli Village.
