About My work
Artist statement
Born in Paris, I am a French Sculptor living in the West Berkshire ( UK). . I sculpt mainly animal in bronze or bronze resin.
My work has been presented at a number of prestigious venues and international art fairs. Highlights include exhibiting alongside thirty of the UK’s leading sculptors at Sculpture by the Lakes, as well as having two works — The Gold Walking Cheetah and Small Sitting Cheetah — selected for exhibition by the Salon des Artistes Français in Paris.
My sculptures have also been shown internationally at the Affordable Art Fair in London, New York, and Hong Kong, introducing my work to collectors and audiences across Europe, the United States, and Asia.
I don't impose a single language on every animal I sculpt. I listen to what each one needs and I find the geometry, the lines and the curves that reveals its presence , its soul and its attitudes.
In a world that never stops adding noise, my work strips everything away and finds what remains, the essential presence of each animal, permanent and unchanged beneath the surface. It's a reminder that beneath complexity there is always a simpler, more powerful truth.
I want the viewer to really look at an animal, to understand its essential nature, to feel its weight and spirit without the distraction of surface detail
Influences
My work sits within a sculptural tradition I absorbed long before I consciously understood it. Growing up in France, the great animalier tradition , François Pompon above all.
From Constantin Brancusi I absorbed something complementary ,the understanding that simplification is not subtraction but revelation.
And from Lynn Chadwick, I found the geometric language that makes my work fully itself. The angular planes, the sharp edges catching light.
