Innocence

I called him innocence because he came to me with complete confidence, but also for his innocence in giving himself in to posel with all his patience.

I think that thanks to this very nice collaboration I did a very good job, of which I am still very proud of today. The quality of this work is exceptional and was achieved in a true moment of grace.

I wanted to sculpt a child in its whole, not just the head.

One day a mother and her child were walking in front of the house. I immediately realized that it was him, an atypical oval head, soft, marked shoulder blades, arched back, ideal, just what iI looked for.

For a week, little Dominique, 9 years old, posed for me. He was Haitian

Within one week I finished my clay work. But when I told him I was done, he was so disappointed for the sessons to be over, that I proposed to do a portrait as well.
