Asides from that, I picked up a passion for woodcarving that grew bigger over the past 6 years.\u00a0My main inspiration is the wildlife and the animal forms.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #333333;\">For me, each sculpture is a work of endurance, like an itinerant walk during which I track the animal through the density of the material. Guided by my sketches and clay models, which I use like maps and beacons, my gouges and chisels are used to cut my way through the wood fibers.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Chip by chip, a spine takes shape, a gaze sharpens, character traits become clearer.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #333333;\">With an eye for detail, my aim is to capture a certain movement, an attitude and a presence specific to the subject.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #333333;\">The walk slows down and is punctuated by moments of contemplation, of stepping back to get a better look. Then comes the work of harmonizing lines and volumes to reveal the character of the wood, its grain, its nuances, its language.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #333333;\">In today&#8217;s hectic world, I make a point of working mostly with hand tools. This gives me a more accurate sense of timing, the gesture on the material becomes more honest, the peace settles in.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Passionate about all aspects of woodworking, I also create objects, jewellery and furniture.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-b05972d elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"b05972d\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-40dd401\" data-id=\"40dd401\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-efd0fc1 elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"efd0fc1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1482\" height=\"635\" src=\"http:\/\/leopacquelet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/IMG_20230220_165645-1482x635.jpg\" class=\"attachment-blog-single-1 size-blog-single-1 wp-image-6493\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I graduated from Fine Art schools of Lyon and Montpellier, France in 2013.
