About the Item
“Ancestral Memories” – A Porcelain Plaster Sculpture of Wisdom and Connection
“Ancestral Memories” is a sculpture crafted in porcelain plaster, embodying the majestic elephant, an eternal symbol of wisdom, memory, and a profound connection to nature. This material, both delicate and luminous, reflects the fragile yet powerful equilibrium between life, earth, and spirituality. Through this work, I explore the intimate relationship between humanity and the animal world, while questioning our increasing disconnection from the very essence of existence.
The elephant, with its mighty yet sensitive feet, becomes a conduit of memory and emotion. The soft texture and subtle translucence of porcelain plaster evoke the inner light of this being, its ability to deeply feel the earth, water, and the unseen vibrations of the world—sensations that slip ever further from human perception. This material choice accentuates a form of purity and essence, a reminder that true strength often lies in apparent fragility.
Through this sculpture, I pay homage to the wisdom and familial bonds of elephants, virtues that echo what we once were: deeply attuned to nature, capable of profound emotional intelligence. Elephants, through their funerary rituals, infallible memory, and intricate social ties, embody a depth of emotional and spiritual wealth that modern man has largely forgotten. This sculpture serves as an invitation to remember, to reconnect with these fundamental truths.
The dimensions and refined details sculpted into the porcelain plaster emphasize the elephant’s dual nature: its commanding strength and delicate sensitivity. The material captures light and shadow, revealing textures that symbolize the ancestral memories carried within this being. Each crease, each curve, tells a story, a fragment of wisdom that we must relearn and preserve.
Symbols Embedded Within the Work
• Family: A pillar of solidarity and protection, the elephant reminds us of the sacred bonds that unite us.
• Memory and Wisdom: Treasures of ancestral knowledge, preserved in the animal world yet increasingly lost to mankind.
• Connection to the Earth: Through its feet, the elephant feels every vibration of the land, an essential communion with nature that humanity must reclaim.
Each edition of “Ancestral Memories” is an invitation to reflect—on who we once were, what we have become, and the urgency of restoring our bonds with life itself. The purity and timelessness of porcelain plaster elevate this pursuit of reconnection, reminding us of the beauty of essence and the necessity of realigning with nature’s rhythm.

Chartier Sébastien
Sébastien Chartier, sculpteur autodidacte, explore la relation entre l’humain, l’animal et la nature. Inspiré par les migrations, les civilisations anciennes et les symboles universels, il crée des sculptures figuratives en céramique et bronze, mêlant force et fragilité. Ses œuvres intègrent des socles en métal évoquant l’archéologie, prolongeant leur sens. Exposées dans des galeries françaises et collections privées internationales, elles invitent à réfléchir sur la trace laissée par l’humanité.
