Description

The animal stretches upwards in a striking vertical surge. This figurative sculpture captures the fragility and nobility of the animal kingdom. The work of the material reveals a raw, almost organic aspect. The wax and terracotta unite to create an irregular texture. Each relief accentuates the fineness of the limbs and the length of the neck. The precarious balance of the silhouette brings a silent tension to the whole. The dark patina emphasizes the contours of a stylized body. The lines are clean, favoring the essence of the form over anatomical detail. The animal seems suspended in a moment of waiting. The silhouette stands out sharply against a neutral background. This 2025 creation explores the relationship between mass and void. Verticality dominates the composition. The eye is guided by the ascending curve up to the head. The tactile aspect of the material invites close observation. The piece rests on four slender legs that support a dense body.

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.
