Our artists

"I have heard the cicadas sing, smelled the scent of lavender. The way I play with colour and light is soft on the eyes and brings us inner peace. The various naïve characters that I paint will make your heart sing and provide a tranquility that will help you forget the world has gone mad." – André Coppens

"From a misguided arm, too cylindrical; Ugliness oozes from me; As if it were my enemy; A covered gaze; A single multiple gesture, too quickly; The painter is born; The painting is dead." – OJO

"My passion is painting. You can’t pretend to be an artist, either you are or you aren’t one. When I paint, I give in completely and forget about the hassles of life. Once I apply colour, I don’t overthink it. I strive to perfect my lights and shadows to make sure they’re in perfect harmony with the ambiance and colours." – Clarence Bourgoin

David combines bold colourism with an architect’s eye for detail; he can immerse the viewer in a scene while also evoking energy, emotion, and atmosphere through colour, mixed media and layering.

"My work is the result of lightly manipulating chaotic shapes and colours." – Debby Talbot

"The face is a sophisticated medium that sometimes betrays our inner state. Drawing a human face is a challenge for me as the presence of the soul is paramount." – Michel T. Desroches
