Sculptures
The sculpture interest started a long time ago during my art studies. However I reconnected with the 3D art with the ceramic pig I customised for Caviar House & Prunier in 2018.
The gorilla clay sculpture is the prototype of the current sculpture I am working on: Cigarilla.
Cigarilla has been reproduced in resin by Frederic Amacher a swiss art founder based in Valais. I currently have 10 sculptures of cigarillas to customise for clients.

3D Art
My experience in 3D started with a collaboration for a short-movie. Peter Rebeiz from Balik Farm Studio asked me first to create masks for the dancers in a videoclip. Having recycled old fashion mannequins recently, he also ordered me five pieces to be customised for a particular scene in the movie taking place in an old power station.
Extending my artistic skills in these projects lead me to discover a new artistic world, where I eventually combined my various knowledge to create movie sets, props, clothes and so on...
As the shooting scenes are not all done I can only post a few photos of my work for the moment.
More info on the short-movie is available here.
