Pascal Oudet
HISTORY
In the Grésivaudan Valley, nestled between the Chartreuse and Vanoise mountains, Pascal lives surrounded by woods.
Formerly an engineer, his passion for transforming materials—a passion he partly inherited from his grandfather—led him to the art of woodturning and carving in 2006.
With his hands, he deftly shapes, carves, and sands.
Under his skilled touch, this noble, robust, rustic material transforms into delicate lace, revealing the utmost finesse and fragility.
As an engineer, Pascal is happy to discuss his techniques, the tools he has devised to bring his sculptures to life, and his deliberate choice of oak—which he shapes while it is still green—the only wood that can be carved in such an extreme manner, its rich growth rings telling a compelling story.
Beyond technical mastery, imagination and poetry take center stage in his creations, which are now featured in numerous museums and private collections around the world.
