Jean-Pierre STRAUB has lived in St-Martin since 1992.
He was born in Strasbourg, in the fifties and was exposed to the art of inlaying wood from a very young age in his father’s workshop. At that time, wood inlaying was used essentially to create and restore furniture. Having been immersed in this traditional woodworking skill from his early youth, Jean-Pierre very quickly found the need to diversify and broaden his creative skills so he turned to marquetry art.
His undisputable expertise in this field is the result of thirty-five years of experience combined with his unique talent and wonderful ability to draw, which pervades his composition. He has chosen a vast selection of veneers from all over the world to work with. Depending on their qualities, they make up his wood palette.
In Jean-Pierre’s work we find combinations of several types of wood, not limited to: myrtle burl, red madrone, ebony, lemon tree, silver birch, tulip tree, rose wood, sycamore, walnut, palisander wood from the West Indies, maple and amboyna burl, French, Australian & African walnut.
He selects and combines every piece, each warm toned color with such care and taste when creating his unique and hallmarked masterpieces.
