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. This matriarch or patriarch joyfully helps her baby elephants to see further, higher !! I created a very rounded composition with a vanishing line, the baby elephant on the trunk which...

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. 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.

Bear and his two cubs

A bear trains his two cubs in acrobatic postures, just as I used to play "circus" with my cousins as a child. These were great moments when we imagined ourselves taking immeasurable risks in front of an amazed audience. I didn't make a career in the circus, and far be it from me to represent my bears on a ring, prisoners of trainers! They're having the...

My favorite horse

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...

Lion and two cubs

I created this sculpture to order (1/8) and then decided to release all the copies. The composition worked perfectly : a powerful lion with an abundant mane, tenderized by his two cubs. For the cubs, I chose to take up the theme of columns, stacks of animals, adapted to allow the boldest cub to rise to the father's level! A rich tawny patina is an obvious...

Drum Shaman Bear

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...

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...

Bears column with three balloons

These three balancing bears complicated their act by juggling balloons. They are very focused because as in life they depend on each other not to fall the red of the balloons contrasts with a rich brown patina. I asked my young intern, Jackob, to write a few lines on this sculpture. Here they are : In front of these three bears, we feel like we are part...

In top form large format

Following a commission from a collector, I took up the theme of "EN PLEINE FORME" in large format. It's a very round piece. The little one perched on its mother's (or father's!) back gives the piece a playful, airy feel. The "protagonists" in the scene communicate with each other through a play of tender, amused glances. I constantly adjusted the...

Bear juggling fish

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...

A warm brown patina for this small, very slender version of the acrobatic elephants. The little one plays with the law of gravity, its paw balancing on the carrier's trunk. They look into each other's eyes, in joyful complicity.

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
