'origine' Wood



My vision is that the sculptor and the stone or the wood start resounding to discover the object of the creation. The sculptor then works with all his body and soul, a long journey that can follow many forks.
The sculptor must adapt to the irregularities in the material, which can lead to
some variations.
There is no possible way back: only forward!
Direct carving is a path that gets thinner and thinner with fewer and fewer forks,
towards the top, where the sun, wind, storm and stars alternate. Alternations of
joy, deception, despair and wonder.
Connected to the universal human being, the sculptor reveals.
 
From oak to marble, through all types of woods and stones, I explore
Man and his symbols. Through my sculptures, I wish to address myself to each of
us in our most intimate part, the archetypes that have shaped our psyche for
thousands of years. And to find there, power, fluidity and purity.
