Biographie

Jacques Pissenem was born in 1972 in Plancher-les-Mines, a small village in the Haut-Saone region at the heart of the magnificent forests of the Vosges. Very quickly, he felt he was “an inhabitant of Nature”, as he puts it.

Confronted by the beauty and force of the landscape, his life choices were already preparing him to become the “tree carver” he is today.

Participating in mountain biking competitions, motocross and skiing, he learned stamina and developed a taste for hard work in the forest landscape of his childhood. Wanting to escape from a world that had become too uniform and standardized, he escaped through music, becoming a drummer in a rock group.

All the elements were already there, waiting for him to draw on them to inspire the art he creates today.
Before he was 30, he changed his life radically and left a promising, but alienating, job in the automobile industry to train in woodwork. At the same time, he developed a goat farm with his partner at the time in his village.

It was at then that he had a decisive encounter, with Pio Pascolo, a pioneer in the art of chainsaw carving since 1958, who initiated him in the practice of this unusual art form.

The spark was there, his determination, hard work and creativity have led him to become, today, the only “tree carver” to carry out chainsaw performances to music.

This unique, strong and sensitive artist takes us to a dream world where physical performance is in the service of creation, of his creations…
