Sculptural forms have always caught my eye.<\/p>\n

Since 1988, I have been creating abstract or figurative pieces in clay, and later in bronze and stone.<\/p>\n

One by one, my sculptures lead me on a path of creation, rich in joy, questions, rigorous training and exciting internal and external challenges.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Beginning a sculpture, my motivation and the pleasure I obtain are linked to a process of discovery and intuitive search.<\/span><\/p>\n

I don\u2019t know what will emerge, as this is not reproducing a preconceived form, or following a specific idea. It is guessing a path through <\/span>a shapeless material, wandering so that a structure emerges, advancing towards a form between solids and void, shadows and light.
<\/span>Dreaming and interpretation are the essence of the emotion I feel while unveiling little by little the surface and heart of a stone.<\/span><\/p>\n


\nTechnical mastery must guide the gesture that shapes, the hand that cuts, grinds, chisels, polishes, and the eye that watches, assesses and makes changes.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

I especially like abstract or semi-figurative forms, punctuated by curves and powerful lines, tight, flowing, letting the light slip over.<\/span><\/div>\n

\n

In contrast, some raw material where a part is left showing its tool marks, allows us into its depths, thanks to the play of shadows it produces.<\/span><\/div>\n

\n

The variety of stones, the palette of colours and nuances, is also a source of inspiration.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

I feel a sort of completion in my work and my artistic expression when the lines become so natural that a hand wants to caress them and the heart is touched.<\/p>\n

Free expression hoping for an equally free and intimate reaction from the viewer.<\/p>\n<\/div>
