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

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!

Bronzes

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!

€950.00

Small elephant on stem, bronze base. Slate-gray patina. Very playful sculpture holding in the hand

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...

Bronzes

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.

View

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

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...

Benbezela

€5,500.00

« Bembeleza » means “tickle” in swahili, in KENYA. It's a animal sculpture that I wanted to be joyful and tender, the game between an adult and their child. I see myself with one of my grandchildren...Animal sculpture for all the parents and grandparents of the world!!!

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 Swing

€4,900.00

“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.

An emblematic theme that I definitely cannot leave! Rounded shapes, erect trunk supporting a baby in balance, smiles, everything contributes to optimism! A beautiful earthen patina on red-brown backgrounds created by Yves Cabasson magnifies the all peace.

In Africa or four happy elephants

€3,100.00

My ball

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

This bronze animal sculpture was made at the Harze...
