Yves Boucard conjures and designs brightly hued and colored furniture figures, then constructs them and finally paints them. His work encapsulates feelings and dreams and memories and images from dreams enliven the everyday world.

Yves Boucard’s creations make you dream with open eyes, and the deeper you look into his carved and painted paradise garden, the more richly you dream. He has enabled the trees, the fruit and flowers, the fairy tale animals to become life-sized and three-dimensional. And with the changing light, his sculptures-for-use even seem to come to life.
