Jacques Barthélémy

I have always been attracted to art in general, whether contemporary or classical. Painting, sculpture, design, jazz, cinema, photography are my dadas

Eclectic, multidisciplinary, self-taught, curious, I like to be pushed around, the more it disturbs me the more it interests me. The pictorial ideas come to me spontaneously like the notes of music in jazz, free, fleeting but they can also be premeditated, calculated, reflected with preparatory drawings, it is the emotion of the moment which provides. I let myself be guided by the exaltation, the free gesture to dare to give life to my emotions.

I play to work the contrast between the figurative and the abstract and if possible that a painting can tell a story, a poetic universe, with a zest of humor.
