Born in 1961, in France, Pascal Amblard began to display strong artistic talent and interest in drawing and painting as a small child. Scenes from the French Alps and the Rjiks Museum in Amsterdam so impressed the young boy that he still remembers the hours spent attempting to capture the beautiful landscapes and paintings that so impressed him.
Although he initially pursued a career as an English teacher, studying in both France and Great Britain, Pascal’s artistic talent was rewarded during a summer holiday, when he produced and quickly sold small, hand painted toys – realizing a large profit. Opening a shop with his wife Pascale, he was hired to produce a mural for a restaurant, and began to accept new commissions for additional mural work.
In 1989, Pascal attended faux finishing, graining and marbling classes in Paris, in lieu of mural classes, which did not exist at the time. He accepted a position at the Galerie Apparences in Paris, specializing in trompe L’oeil and mural painting. In 1993 Pascal was recruited by the IPEDEC to develop and lead their distinguished Mural Department, providing world-renowned classes in mural painting.
In 1998, Pascal was invited to join the elite group of international decorative painters at their annual gathering called “Salon”. Shortly after, in 2001, Pascal hosted the Paris Salon gathering, which was attended by over one hundred renowned painters, representing fifteen countries.
Pascal’s private clientele has grown to include collectors from various countries, including Germany and the United States, and his work is sought during the highly regarded European Home show, Maison & Objet, in Paris.
