Jonathän Jouan

Jonathän Jouan grew up in Brittany where his father was an architecte. He followed him on many construction sites and understood how it was tough and long to build or create something. His creative passions faded with the time and he decided to follow his predecessors through the history of art. Thus, he settled in Rennes, but his desire to create something tangible made him move towards something else.

Many years later, Jonathän left the country and started a new life in Montreal, city of street art and multiculturalism where everything is possible. L’École d’ébénisterie d’art de Montréal welcomed him in its locals and five years later, he advanced his learning of the subject and started his first collection about Japanese Folklore. His creations as a cabinet maker were innovative and originals. Being one of the few artists working merging straw marquetry and wood in the region, give him a lot of creativity. On the side he practiced other arts, like murals for which he has been selected at the Romeo's Museum in 2018.
