Work made of Douglas Pine & steel.
This captivating work of art stands proudly with a singular elegance, immediately marking the observer's mind with its originality and audacity resulting from a combination of diverse materials and textures. The sculpture is distinguished by its elongated and slender shape, resembling an asymmetrical blade that rises towards the heights. The wood, finely worked, is the predominant element of this creation. Its surface presents a series of wavy and precisely engraved patterns, creating a captivating play of light and shadow. These undulations give an impression of movement, as if the sculpture were animated by an internal energy. The natural veins of the wood add depth and visual richness, perfectly complementing the carved patterns. A notable contrast is created by the presence of metal surfaces integrated into the structure. The metal, dark and textured, offers a hardness and a striking contrast with the organic warmth of the wood. The rectangular cutouts and raised elements on the metal surface add an industrial and modern dimension, making the work both timeless and resolutely contemporary. The solid base, also made of metal, ensures the stability of the sculpture while adding a touch of robustness. A circular raised detail on the base draws the eye, revealing an unmatched attention to detail and impressive technical mastery. This sculpture is a perfect synergy between nature and craftsmanship, evoking both robustness and grace. It tells a story of contrast and harmony, highlighting the artist's ability to transform raw materials into a work of art that inspires and fascinates.
My universe is deeply inspired by the Neolithic world, the large-scale representations of the first traces of man, the dolmens, the menhir statues or the imposing cairns. Who are these builders, with what techniques and knowledge were they able to create these forms? It is the whole free field left by silence to these questions that is a source of inspiration, dialogue, research. And closer to us, the charm and spirituality of the temples of the 11th and 12th century of Japan.
My sculptures form a constellation of points, like a taut arc that connects us to these unfathomable origins, to nature, to space.
"I like to let myself be guided by impulses. The sculpture is built as I go along. I always try to create transparency, light effects by playing with the black of the wood licked by the flame, the orange gradients of the Douglas pine, the silver reflections of the steel.
Next to my studio, I have created a space of truth. The sculptures thus arranged must give me emotions, sensations, like a magnetic current."
