Pascal Oudet
History
In the Grésivaudan valley, nestled between Chartreuse and Vanoise, Pascal resides surrounded by woods.
Formerly an engineer, his passion for transforming matter, partly inherited from his grandfather, led him to the art of wood turning and carving in 2006.
With his hands, he deftly turns, sculpts, and sands.
The noble, robust, rustic material metamorphoses into delicate lace under his skilled touch, displaying absolute finesse and fragility.
As an engineer, Pascal willingly delves into discussions about his techniques, the tools he has devised to breathe life into his sculpted works, and the deliberate choice of oak, which he shapes while still green—the only wood that can be carved in such an extreme manner, its rich growth rings narrating a compelling story.
Beyond technical prowess, imagination and poetry take center stage in his creations, now gracing numerous museums and private collections worldwide.
