About The Artwork

Yemen is one of my first painted landscape sculptures of bigger size. It represents an imaginary piece of mountainous northern yemeni landscape. It looks a bit as if God had taken a huge shovel and dug out a big cubical square of land. It gives a natural pedestal base to the sculptured landscape beginning at mid-level, creating balance. The landscape shows quite steep and shrugged surfaces. Nevertheless, nearly every piece of land has been occupied and used by its inhabitants in an impressive way. Humans are an industrious species, managing to live in difficult environments. Here, they created what appears to be a small paradise of oasis, extensive terraced fields and nice picturesque villages. Everyday life might not be easy there, for example to get water in high points, but at least the views displayed to all are stunningly beautiful, in a perfect natural setting. Traditional cultures usually maintain a balanced life, knowing their survival is very precarious. Today, the modern man, infatuated of its own power, should probably rediscover this precious knowledge of the Ancients...

I am a French and Polish artist, born in Paris in 1972. Coming from a family of artists (my mother Julita is a sculptor, my sister Gabrielle a painter, my brother Pierre a music composer...) I've expressed myself in my childhood mainly through drawing. Then for many years I dropped art totally and went into studies and work, to realise a few years back I cannot live without creating. A peak time is my New York experience for a few month in 2008, where I briefly just plunged into creation, before coming back to what had become my normal everyday life... After that, this urge for creation has grown on me progressively until a recent making out in 2011, when returning from a very enriching experience as a plumber in Bangladesh slums, where I had spent about a year and a half... Quite lost at my return home, I can say I slowly came back to myself only through art. The action of sculpting was a highly restructuring experience to me.It rebuilt me and gave a new meaning to my life. Since then, I've been creating and considering myself as an artist. In the meantime I got married and am a father of adorable twin boys, born in 2016. With this parenthood experience my creation has necessarily evolved, I considered myself primarily as a sculptor, but with restricted time and access to my clay workshop in Touraine I had much frustration. Hence my latest sculpture projects with various materials including recyclables and rubbish, my recent return to drawing, my discovery of collage and also painting to a lesser extent. Today, another page will be turned with our installation mid 2017 in a new house in Saint Cloud, near Paris, with the possibility of having a workshop at home, and generally more space and more time dedicated to creation.
