Matias Beaulieu, EJQ

My work is driven by the construction of identity, which I perceive as a process in constant transformation. Through my pieces, I investigate how relationships, experiences, and environments influence this construction, both positively and negatively. This reflection finds an echo in nature, particularly in the tree, which occupies a central place in my practice. Rooted in the past, it extends toward the unknown. The concept of branching structures therefore influences my work, both in form and in thought. I am interested in the ways natural forms can be translated into controlled geometry. My approach consists of observing and reconstructing these organic elements in order to create a balance between control and chaos.

My creative process is based on collecting fragments of reality through photography. I transform them visually using digital tools before translating them into material through traditional craftsmanship. Also, fine gemstone cutting occupies an important place in my practice. I work closely with techniques such as 3D modeling and printing, computer-aided manufacturing, and laser cutting.

These works gradually become a materialization of my experiences, memories, and perception of the world, expressed primarily through one-of-a-kind pieces.
