Lucas Castex

Lucas Castex is a sculptor and craftsman from Landes, France. After 10 years spent on the Reunion Island, Lucas Castex began creating his first wooden pieces when he went back to his native region in 2015. Self-taught and multidisciplinary, navigating between sculptures, decoration and architecture, it is in his workshop in the heart of the family neighborhood that Lucas work the wood with his signature textures to make exceptional pieces. Essentially made of oak, (the emblematic tree of the Landes airials where it grew) his sculpted pieces, strongly inspired by primitive arts, evoke as much travel as ethnic objects, always with the same desire in his work: to make the nature of the wood sublime. For Lucas, a strong piece must above all awaken the senses and spark a special feeling to anyone that looks at it or touches it. But also, it must enable everyone to imagine the story of each piece in their own way.
