Contemporary sculptures by Bernard Rives

Original contemporary sculptures by Bernard Rives

Bernard Rives’s work explores movement, the strength of form and the expressiveness of the figure through a sculptural career spanning more than four decades. This collection brings together original contemporary sculptures for collectors, private spaces, interior-design and architectural projects, and selected outdoor settings.

Each creation has its own identity, dimensions, materials and finish. Depending on the work, it may be a unique piece or part of a limited, numbered edition, accompanied by its certificate of authenticity.

Buying an original Bernard Rives sculpture

Acquiring a sculpture means introducing a three-dimensional artwork into a collection or space. Its relationship with its surroundings changes with viewpoint, light, distance and architecture.

The Bernard Rives collection spans different formats, from sculptures conceived for interiors to monumental works for gardens, architectural settings and large-scale projects. Each product page lists the work’s dimensions, materials, edition and availability.

Movement and the figure

Movement is one of the recognisable elements of Bernard Rives’s artistic language. Human figures, couples and animals gain dynamism through flowing lines, volumes and poses that convey energy even when the work itself is still.

The collection includes female figures, couples, animals and monumental sculpture, united by a shared interest in form, movement and balance.

Materials, finishes and formats

Bernard Rives works with different materials and techniques according to each creation, including bronze, resin, fiberglass, aluminium and other contemporary materials and finishes. Formats range from works for interior settings to monumental sculptures for outdoor and architectural projects.

Unique pieces and limited editions

Some works are produced in limited, numbered editions, while others are unique pieces. Each work states its specific characteristics and is supplied with a certificate of authenticity signed by Bernard Rives.
