Statuette "Kitten from the shelf"

Step into a world where art meets passion with Patrick Villas' range of vibrant, hand-sculpted bronze creations. Born in 1961, Villas is a Belgian sculptor whose work is celebrated not only in his native Belgium but is well recognized globally. He is currently based in France where he continues his foray into the world of bronze sculpture.

Villas presents an extraordinary observation of the animal kingdom through his works of art. Among the myriad forms of fauna he faithfully recreates, cats are his most beloved subjects. Spending extensive hours observing and studying their movements, Villas meticulously captures each feline peculiarity from the way a cat looks over your shoulder to how it dangles off a shelf, a scene often seen in many homes! This dedication to the minutiae is what sets Villas' work apart.

Each statue is an explosive display of dynamism and elegance - an intimate examination of the feline form that emphasizes on its nobility, agility and inherent charisma. It is where textured plastic craftsmanship meets timeless artistry in a fusion that is as unique as it is intriguing. Every creation stands as a testament to all the time Villas has spent watching his feline muses.

One of the most fascinating aspects of Villas' work is his use of bronze. Far from the rigid, traditional figurines, Villas' statues – while appearing as though masterfully molded by hand from clay – are crafted from bronze, adding a sense of permanence and durability to his artistic expressions.

From conception to fruition, each work of art is a labor of love, a design made tangible, purely hand-sculpted with attention to every detail which is the trademark of the artistry of Patrick Villas.
