“That which does not die lays siege on he who does:
Gislebert of Autun, Erasmus Grasser and Ossip Zadkine instilled in the sculptor’s heart the truth of beauty, as André Malraux celebrated , and Pier Maria Pasinetti bequeathed in the course of a seminal encounter.
Lasting gratitude:
in early apprenticeship, to Fernand Mignolet, unfailing hand and wise master;
through the period of maturation, to Annick and Pierre Fernandez, Ali and Lida Bonakdar, and Renato Zacchello – close by, for their kind and insightful appreciation;
and also, to Valérie Vogt, whose inspiring work marries light and materials.
The chamber of memory which received the sculptor between the Muses and Graces is Quebec.
Such an adventure…is neither sought, nor found, nor given… – as in love…it is received.”
