Désir de rester au plus près de la Nature

The spirit of “naturalness” and safeguarding of an authenticity remain in the center of my work and my current life.

This is why my more or less rough sandstone grounds, remain naked or almost.

They are fired with the gas flame of my kiln, at high temperature (around 1.300°C), generally in rather strong reduction atmosphere in order to reveal the character of the sandstone which touches me most directly.

My sculptures are born in the very quiet and remote site of my workshop, in the middle of a surrounding natural area.

Artistic intention

I am able today to express some of the emotions on which my current work is founded:

- the fascination in front of “the woman”,

- the uncertainty and questioning about “the beauty”,

- the amazement when I consider fecundity,

- the desire and urgency for the redevelopment of my own sensitivity,

- the joy of letting myself been influenced by authentic affectivities,

- the pleasure of expressing my “brutitude” freely,

- the desire to remain close to Nature,

- the love of nudity.
