Rooted in his training as a chef, Jean Sébastien Barbet lives by this passion.
A lively and passionate expression. For many years, he has transformed ingredients and created colorful, ephemeral works with multiple textures and sensory flavors.
Creativity is present under his gaze and his hands.
Wood, this raw and authentic material, holds a particular fascination for him.
In contact with it, boundaries disappear, time and space are fertile; he draws his inspiration from the natural essence, the grains and veins of the wood.
With his chainsaws, grinders, and wood chisels, his hands shape and transform this noble material into unique pieces full of detail and emotion. Sculpture and cuisine are two very different dialogues, but they merge and converge in artistic expression.
Self-taught and surrounded by family and friends, SJS SCULPTURE was founded in 2021 and held its first exhibition in Provence in June 2023.
Wood gradually became the natural extension of its creativity.
