Description
An animalistic silhouette rests lightly on a mineral pedestal. This terracotta sculpture plays with contrasts of forms. The lower volume evokes a pebble polished by time. Its textured surface captures the light soberly.
The animal subject, treated in a figurative manner, crowns the whole. The work of the material emphasizes the fragility of being in the face of the inertia of the stone. The balance seems precarious, almost suspended.
The chromatic palette remains neutral. The earthy tones reinforce the organic aspect of the composition. This 2026 creation explores the link between the living and raw matter. The tactile rendering of the terracotta brings a human and warm dimension to the whole. The work is defined by a formal simplicity and a precision in modeling.

Presentation

My work explores balance: that of a fragile nature, but also our own. By exploring different mediums, from bronze to terracotta and through painting, I try to bring, through my works, joy or serenity to those who contemplate them.
