Meet the artist

"Long live wood..."

Hello! My name is Alain Dugas, and my workshop is nestled in the garage of my home on the island of Montreal. I spend a great deal of time there, so I’ve made it as comfortable as possible—though that’s not always easy with Quebec’s harsh winters!

​

Wood has always fascinated me. Though I’ve loved working with it for as long as I can remember, it wasn’t until around the year 2000 that I began using it as an artistic medium. For me, wood is a palette, and intarsia is my way of painting. There’s something truly magical about transforming a discarded piece of lumber into a unique work of art. As it passes through the hands of an artisan, colors emerge, grains come to life, and simple wood takes on a whole new dimension.

​

I am deeply passionate about my craft. Since intarsia remains relatively unknown in this part of the country, I plan to use my retirement to promote this beautiful art form and share my work with those who appreciate the warmth and character of wood. If you’re interested in acquiring a piece, I’d love to create something special for you.
