Benoit Ipas developed an exacting relationship with materials at an early stage. He began his career in the aerospace industry in 2008, where he acquired technical rigor and a strong command of composite materials—foundations that continue to shape his work.

He later deepened this approach through specialized training in composite fabrication, exploring resin and carbon fiber as expressive materials in their own right.

 At the same time, he expanded his skill set as a self-taught practitioner, developing expertise in cabinetmaking, automotive bodywork, welding, painting, and computer numerical control (CNC) processes, thermoforming, screenprinting forming a transversal practice free from traditional boundaries.

He initially worked as a designer, creating high-end furniture, before gradually moving away from function. Technical drawings gave way to intuition, specifications to the tension of the gesture. This shift marked a natural transition toward contemporary art.
