M.P.C.E.M.
Mouvement Pour Corps Et Mental

Movement for Mind and Body
Mind and Body constitute the elusive duality that nevertheless forms the basis of our being, where mind cannot exist outside of body.
Sculpture is in the third dimension of reality, it returns to the primordial spiritual birth, when a body was simply matter at the dawn of its life. It captures the instant where a world of sensuality is born and extricates the surge of life as a singular event, an objective world of sensation.
Sculpture is learning to see again.
In sculpture, what interests me to the point of obsession is working on the inner aspect, the suspended moments and elusive instants that we cannot pin down, the attempt to solidify in matter the qualia, intuitions and other subjective consciousness that accompany many of our mental states.

The French painter Jean Bazaine (1904-2001) wrote that «painting needs men who are drowning» that is to say men who give themself totally to their art. As a sculptor in metal, M.C.P.C.E.M. is one of these men. Wholehearted with no half measures. Art is for him an incarnation, his reason for being and living, far removed from the current fashions trends. His tools are not harmless paint brushes,but pliers, pincers, hammers and scissors.
