This gifted artist is a sculpture of great talent, receiving the accolade "Meilleur Ouvrier de France" in 1997. From the age of 8 years he has worked with clay, sculpting, modelling and moulding. Trained as a potter he quickly evolved into a sculpture. His works inspired by nature and the 18th century are in private collections around the world. All his work is defined by the minute detail with which he works the clay, a perfectionist he is known for underestimating his work and often does not sign pieces.
