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

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...

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...

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.

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.

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

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...

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

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...

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...

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.

Bronzes

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 little pearl fisherwoman

€1,600.00

What to put in a frog's leg? Easy for her, freediving champion to indulge in the harvest of freshwater pearls. This sculpture is part of the series on pedestals featuring the owls

Five Young Ladies

€3,900.00

Five young ladies, friends or sisters, tenderly entwined chatting together. I have played on the sharing of their glances to animate the group. It will soon be a dozen years that I have worked on these anthropomorphic giraffes in parallel with my other creations. Expressing womanhood.

Big horn to horn

€32,000.00

The original bronze clay was presented for the first time in the remarkable garden of the Tool Museum at WIT DIT JOLI VILLAGE. The first bronze edition is now exhibited in the park of Château De Luynes, in the company of the BIG ACROBATS. It is an animal sculpture all in a circle punctuated by the play of horns, horns that poachers will not come and cut!...

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...

Giraffe and her doll

€5,900.00

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...

Column of dogs

€32,000.00

This column of dogs could have been several meters high if I had wanted to represent all dog breeds! I was content to model mine and those that I regularly come across in my village. Astonished, they wonder what possessed the sculptor to put them in such a situation. In real life, they hunt, guard men and livestock, run on dog tracks, or even console with...

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...

Girafe enceinte

Sold out As a child, I was already much bigger than the other children and “giraffe” was my nickname in the school playground. In fact, this resemblance pleased me. This peaceful animal has a lanky grace, airy and wild and with large soft eyes. It is one of the rare animals which dates back to prehistoric times and one with which we can identify...

Giraffe with jewels

This young giraffe woman with a proud bearing has adorned herself with necklaces and bracelets to come to meet us, one might think. The rings encircling her neck represent for me the social pressure that she transcends with her elegance.Lady Georgiana Cavendish beautifully painted by Gainsborough said that men had left women only their toilets as a means...

The photographic technique scared me and recreating an atmosphere around my sculptures was a real...

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...
