Biography
Joël Martel was a sculptor whose work translated the modern world into harmonious forms, often drawing on abstraction to communicate rhythm and movement. His sculptures, whether monumental or intimate, celebrated the interplay between light, material, and human presence.
He continued to create and inspire until his final years, and the Bois-de-Céné site offers a serene reflection on a career devoted to shaping space through sculpture.
