About

My journey

Trained as a jeweller, I spent over 22 years in the luxury industry, holding various positions from sales advisor to regional manager. This experience allowed me to refine my attention to detail and pursuit of excellence, values that still guide me today.

A new vocation

A work accident led me to reinvent my professional path. Passionate about art and manual work, I chose to train in wood carving and gilding at the École Supérieure d'Ébénisterie d'Avignon (ESEA), located in Le Thor, Vaucluse.

The workshop

In June 2015, I set up my workshop in the heart of the historic center of Pernes-les-Fontaines, one of the most beautiful villages in Provence. This place, steeped in history, is an ideal setting for my work, where wood and gold leaf come to life under my hands. Each sculpture, crafted with patience and precision, is the fruit of artisanal expertise blending tradition and modernity. In this space, open to the public, I share my passion and my creative process, offering everyone the opportunity to discover the art of sculpture and gilding from a fresh perspective .

My work

ARTISTIC CREATION

I create contemporary sculptures, crafted with passion as unique pieces or in small series. Primarily made of oak and enhanced by the delicate touch of gold leaf, they combine the nobility of the materials with meticulous and precise workmanship. Each creation begins in my imagination before taking shape under my hands, in a constant dialogue between idea and material.

RESTORATION

Frames, mirrors, consoles, statues… Each antique piece carries within it a story that I strive to preserve and enhance. Through meticulous craftsmanship, I breathe new life into period furniture by restoring its damaged gilding, restoring its full brilliance and elegance. Mastering traditional techniques is essential to my work.

ART OBJECTS

My mind is teeming with ideas, giving birth to unique wooden objects that combine aesthetics and artisanal know-how. Lamps, candle holders, trivets, bookends, cicadas, Mont Ventoux… Each creation reflects my boundless imagination, crafted with passion and precision, to bring a touch of originality and refinement to interiors.

WOOD & GOLD JEWELRY

A jeweler for 22 years, I never forgot my first profession, and it is with this passion that I created a line of wooden jewelry, enhanced by gold leaf. Each piece, protected by a marine varnish, combines lightness, brilliance, and durability. It harmoniously blends artisanal expertise and timeless refinement to offer unique creations that tell a story of beauty and elegance.
