This striking sculpture presents an anthropomorphic figure with an undeniably intriguing and innovative character. Made with a mixed technique, the work fuses elements of wood and translucent resin, creating a fascinating contrast between organic and artificial materials. The silhouette, apparently human but with grotesque and exaggerated features, evokes a hybrid creature in full movement. Its limbs seem off balance, which gives the whole an impression of dynamism and vitality. The arms and legs, disproportionately elongated, accentuate this feeling of contained energy. The inventive use of translucent resin partially envelops the figure, imitating a sort of cape or diaphanous membrane, and adding an ethereal dimension to the rigidity of the wood. This veil of resin captures and refracts light, offering a play of shadows and transparencies that animates the sculpture and perpetually modifies its appearance according to the viewing angle and lighting. The texture of the driftwood left raw, contrasts with the softness and clarity of the resin, emphasizing the opposition between the natural and the manufactured. The details of the wood, such as knots and veins, bring a tactile and visual depth.
This work, through its formal originality and its bold combination of materials, questions the duality of human nature and the interface between the natural and the artificial. It stands out as a remarkable example of contemporary art, where technical innovation is put at the service of aesthetic and philosophical reflection.

Art is a message that reveals the truth. Art is made to disturb.
Artist (Painting, Sculpture). Born in 1953.
"I am a painter, textile designer, sculptor, who became a professional since 2001. I was trained at the School of Fine Arts in Aix-en-Provence, and a student of Vincent Bouilles. I became known in my workshop/gallery in Paris Bastille for 7 years. I created the "Nymphéas" scarf for the Marmottan Monet museum. I have lived in the Basque country since 2005 where I carry out orders for individuals and professionals on the Basque coast.
Close to nature, I paint a projection of my dreamlike and poetic imagination. My inspiration comes from my travel diary: Los Angeles, NY, Rio de Janeiro, Madras, Tangier, Manila, Lisbon, Istanbul. I transpose into painting the images that inhabit me. Those who speak to me have kept their mystery in memory of the places, the moments, the people who have marked my life.
Influenced by street art, Pop Art of the 60s and German expressionism: Frantz Marc, Kirchner, Munch... My practice is eclectic, I experiment with stencils, various materials, paintings, sculptures, ceramics. My terracotta and ceramic sculptures complement my paintings
Imaginary or visionary figuration is closer to singular arts, to "outsiders" to mediumistic art. The artist's investment in his work classified towards intellectuality, essence, inner work is focused towards the projective, dreamlike, poetry, lyricism. The communication aspect via the signified is part of a symbolic narration whether it is allegorical, metaphorical or analytical."
