Olivier
is born in 1959, in Mantes-la-Jolie, Yvelines,
France (60 kilometers from Paris). |
At
school age, his teachers notice his drawing
talents and his creativity and encourage him to
develop these skills. |
Later,
he meets Christine. They get married and together
they have two beautiful children. |
He
works in the Industry Sector, and this
professional lifestyle makes him work hard in
order to provide for his family and afford to buy
a small house in Andé, Normandy. |
Time
is missing... to make the most of the talent that
Nature gave him. |
« Doesn t
matter, Ill work on it later, when I retire »,
he says. |
But
years go by and retirement time seems still far
away. |
In
May 2008, Olivier walks in an art shop and
decides to buy few canvas and brushes to give it
a try, just to see what has happened to his
almost forgotten gift. |
Very
quickly, he gets into it, colors are mixing up
and the paintings happen at any time of the day
or night. A passion is born. |
He
likes to work with a knife and the small lines
that come up with the small brushes remind him of
his childhoods first drawings. |
Every
single creation brings to this self taught artist
a lot of satisfaction. |
All
themes are approached : landscapes,
monuments, portraits, still-life, animals, life
scenes.... and light effects are sometimes
amazing. |
He
likes to share his passion with people around him,
and takes into account the comments and
compliments that are sent to him. |
|
Olivier
is now he is a happy man who lives his passion
without forgetting his relatives. |
The
recognition of his signature, in different
exibitions in Normandy,is a great encouragement
and helps him to constantly improve himself. |
|
Where
will he go ? |
