For more than 40 years I have been committed to helping others find their own creativity, whether it be my sons, my grandchildren or my students, big and small in school settings or during workshops.
I hope that my paintings inspire others to create for themselves. I mean creating in a broad sense. Because the human being truly grows when he is an autonomous and free creator.
I do not know when the passion for drawing and painting manifested in me. However, what I remember is that my father told me that I was already holding a pencil before I could even walk. I drew like any child who loves colors and scribbles, carefree.
My first style exercise was in elementary school. I chose to draw a Virgin Mary which won me the second prize. The first was awarded to a boy who had drawn a battle-ready warship.
My love of the arts continued to grow thanks to my father's attention to me in this area. I had become an autodidact and a true fan of painting.
Exhibition in a beautiful garden of Montée-de-Silhol in Alès
In homage to Jean Dieuzaide said Yan
(Article from the Marseillaise, 14/5/09)
Next weekend an unusual exhibition will take place in Alès since it will be held in a very beautiful garden. Organized by the cultural association "Le Flamant Rose", it brings together 10 artists from different disciplines who will pay tribute to the great photographer, B&W champion, Jean Dieuzaide, known as Yan, who has now disappeared.
I participated for three years in the Chemins d'Art association.
The Chemins d'Art association defines itself as a promotional tool at the service of artists. The association takes care of the communication of events, organizes quality exhibitions and shows, offers personalized workshop visits and private home sales.
A group of artists from Bessèges and the surrounding area had deconfined themselves and had a blast with this group exhibition.
