A titanic building-site that took more than 14 working-years! As early as 14 of age, by himself and without any help,our little creator will spend over 25 000 hours building Paris centre patiently in his little workshop. His only inspiration is by Yann Arthus Bertrand's photos, Spot-images satellite photos and history books to help him reconstitute each Paris monument plan.
A true sculptor's work!, The Little Paris is entirely hand-sculptured, moulding free. The whole masterpiece is made of reconstituted and reinforced concrete. Early in 1983, the monument building was entirely from recuperation material : fruit syrup cans, salad bowls, coffee-cups for monument-roofs, baby small jars for branched candlesticks etc...
His technique evolved in time, but the Little Paris is still built in the same “handicraft spirit” that makes it original and beautiful.
