Trained at the École des Beaux-Arts in Besançon, Henri-Paul Badet studied under Georges Oudot.
He has worked as a volume designer, creative director and trainer in applied arts and design. All these experiences have enabled him to develop a new approach to teaching live-model modeling, notably at his Terre du Modèle Vivant workshop since 2010, and in vocational training for certain art professions.
His aim is to share the vibrancy of the living.
