Both heirs to ancient art and fiercely dissident, his ceramics combine heterogeneous aesthetics that challenge their distant models. This collision of references produces disconcerting juxtapositions where Hermès rubs shoulders with Louis XVI without hierarchy. Deep blues, acid greens, and vertiginous reds lend an audacious luster to his timeless earthenware. Each piece depicts a baroque world that exaggerates and overflows, where beauty constantly encounters strangeness and whimsy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cem\u003e“Broken nose, severed ear, missing hand or arm: the life of an ancient sculpture is subjected to so many outrages… Now it is my turn to inflict one last affront upon them: that of toppling them once more.
