The Carver's Hand
At Fleur-de-lis Form, our lead carver, Jean-Luc Bouchard, brings over 25 years of dedicated experience to every chisel stroke. Trained in the classical European traditions and master of several distinct styles, Jean-Luc's passion for wood carving is evident in the intricate details and soulful expression of each piece. From architectural ornamentation inspired by Quebec's rich history to contemporary sculptural forms, his hands transform raw timber into living art.
"Every piece of wood holds a story, a potential waiting to be revealed. My philosophy is to listen to the material and to the client's vision, allowing the wood to guide my hand as I bring their imagination to life. It's a dialogue between artist, material, and legacy."
We invite you to watch a short video showcasing Jean-Luc's unparalleled skill and the meticulous process behind our custom carvings:
A Spectrum of Styles
Our artisans are adept in a diverse range of wood carving traditions, ready to bring your vision to life in any aesthetic.
Classical Carving
Drawing inspiration from ancient Greek and Roman traditions, our classical carvings feature elegant motifs such as acanthus leaves, intricate scrolls, fluted columns, and decorative rosettes. These timeless designs bring a sense of grandeur and historical eloquence to any architectural or furniture piece.
Gothic Carving
Characterized by its elaborate and often deeply symbolic forms, Gothic carving incorporates elements like pointed arches, intricate tracery, quatrefoils, and the distinctive linenfold pattern. Ideal for creating a sense of history, reverence, and dramatic elegance in specific settings.
Art Nouveau Carving
Embrace the natural world with Art Nouveau inspired carvings, known for their flowing, organic lines, botanical motifs, and curvilinear forms. This style adds a graceful, whimsical, and sophisticated touch, often depicting stylized flowers, vines, and ethereal figures.
Modern/Abstract Carving
For those who appreciate contemporary aesthetics, we offer modern and abstract carving. This ranges from minimalist geometric patterns and clean lines to bold, sculptural forms that create dynamic focal points and artistic statements in modern interiors.
