My sculpture New Beginnings is just a simple symbol of hope and life. From a cut tree trunk emerges a mini tree. It is proportionate like a real big tree, but of the size of a small bonsai tree. This scale effect shows that, no matter what constraints and catastrophies we pass through, nature finds always a way or another to survive. Life is the final winner always, which is a quite encouraging statement! This art piece is a ceramic, but the bronze colour enamel gives it a perfect bronze effect, which is a bit startling as the subject is botanic, and not mineral. This scale and colour effects emphasize the strangeness of survival in some species by transformation or mutation. This proposed transformation of a dead tree trunk into a desk for a miniature new tree is clearly impossible, but it curiously pleases very much a human mind. I now just wonder what mutations humans will have to pass through in order to assure the survival of our species, in the context of today's times of lethal human power upon nature... Will we just disappear or transform into something new, more modest, intelligent and adaptable species? Living in harmony with nature is the only answer... hopefully before we have to undergo any major changes.

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.
