INSPIRATION

Discover my bronze bird sculpture L'Envol, from the series Birds, a celebration of the grace and silent power of aerial movement. Crafted using lost wax, This work expresses the freedom of flight through a pure form, spread horizontally, and a rough cast texture that reveals the life of matter.

Each detail reflects the vibration of the bronze, giving rise to a unique piece where the deliberately irregular surface captures the light and animates the sculpture with changing reflections. The bird, caught in a moment of suspension, seems carried by an invisible breath, evoking momentum, openness and the passage to an elsewhere imbued with poetry and contemplation.

Presented on its stand, L'Envol is equally at home in a contemporary interior, garden or architectural space. Bronze, a noble and timeless material, gives the work great durability while subtly interacting with the light, revealing deep golden nuances.

Produced in a limited edition (8 copies and 4 artist's proofs), this sculpture is a tribute to nature, movement and freedom. It will appeal to collectors and art lovers alike, with its sober, expressive and ethereal sculptural style.

A work inspired by the history of art

Bronze has been used since ancient times to immortalise figures and symbols, and has survived the centuries as a material of transmission and emotion. L'Envol is part of this continuity, combining a classical approach to bronze with a contemporary approach to form and movement, inspired by the research of artists such as’Henri Matisse and Alexander Calder, for whom lightness, balance and dynamics were essential.

Harmony between art and science: the momentum of flight

The sculpture L'Envol is inspired by the fundamental principles of bird flight. The sweeping curvature of the wings evokes lift and glide through the air, recalling the fluid trajectories of gliding birds. This continuous line, taut and open, captures the precise moment when the bird leaves the ground to abandon itself to space, in a movement that is at once natural, controlled and profoundly free.
