- Who Am I ? -
Hi, I'm Ben!
Passionate about statues and sculpture for as long as I can remember, I gradually felt the need to move from admiring the work of others to creating my own, bringing my ideas to life through my own pieces.
As a self-taught sculptor, I took my first steps with a few blocks of clay, some tools, paintbrushes… and an insatiable thirst for knowledge.
Over time, I developed my skills and learned to bring characters, creatures and objects to life, striving to capture their character, details and emotion.
What began as a simple desire to experiment gradually grew into a true calling, eventually becoming my profession in 2016.
Today, I work from my own studio, located in the Gers region, in the heart of South-West France.

- My Inspirations & my creative world-
My main source of inspiration comes from fantastic and horror cinema, particularly the films of the 1980s and 1990s that I grew up with.
My parents’ VHS tapes and the countless hours I spent browsing video rental stores played a major role in shaping my imagination.
I’ve always dreamed of creating creatures and special effects in the spirit of legendary artists such as Stan Winston, Rick Baker, Tom Savini and Greg Nicotero. Their work continues to inspire me and influence my artistic approach to this day.
But my influences go far beyond cinema. Video games, manga, animation, cartoons and fantasy also play an important part in shaping my creative world.
- My artistic vision -
Through my work, I aim to pay tribute to the iconic films, characters, franchises and objects that have shaped my imagination, and hopefully bring back a few memories and a touch of nostalgia along the way.
Over time, I also aspire to develop my own original art collection, featuring creations entirely conceived and designed by me, through which I can share my creative universe, my designs and my personal artistic vision.
- My Creative Process -
My approach is to design and create each piece entirely in my own workshop, from the initial idea to the finished creation, bringing my own vision and artistic sensibility to every project.
I personally oversee every stage of the production process: design, traditional sculpting using plastiline (Monster Clay), silicone mould-making, high-quality solid resin casting, and meticulous hand painting using brushes and an airbrush, combining traditional craftsmanship with modern techniques.
Since 2022, I have also expanded my skill set to include digital sculpting, allowing me to explore new techniques and broaden my creative possibilities.
