A painter who wishes to contribute to the collective well-being

Monor An artist who WANTS to express himself through his drawings at charcoal and his gouache, oil and digital paintings (BIOGRAPHY, pdf).

- Intuitive artist combining my drawings with charcoalI have been drawing and painting since childhood, using gouache and oil paints as well asdigital art techniques. I have been developing my art and technique for several years through continuing education sessions in art history at the Hôtel Drouot in Paris and at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Le Mans, drawing and painting courses at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts and at theSchlum School in Le Mans. I am registered with the professional number Siret 48215911800033. Some of my paintings are on permanent display in an art gallery in Le Mans (galerie L'Ephémère, 59 Grande rue 72000 Le Mans). The Luxembourg Art Prize has awarded me a certification of artistic recognition in December 2021.

-Self-education is also an important aspect of my career; my numerous visits to temporary or permanent exhibitions, museums, art galleries, international fairs of modern and contemporary art, the study of paintings of the great masters and the instructive exchanges with other artists allow me to apprehend the sensitivity and richness of the world of art and artistic creation. In my opinion,art elevates our humanity and gives usenergy, it provides well-being.

My main inspirations are the NABIS (Bonnard, Vuillard, Denis), the FAUVES (Matisse, Derain, Van Dongen), the IMPRESSIONISTS (Monet, Caillebotte, Degas), but also the EXPRESSIONISTS such as Erich Heckel, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner or August Macke.

- My portrait and nude drawings are made from live models who come to pose in my studio or from my photographs. The eye sharpens over time to capture more details, shapes, shadows and lights, and thus catch the instantaneous emotions perceived, like a spontaneous, natural, uncalculated flash. My nude paintings and portraits are thus created from these sensations and vibrations converging towards acontemporary figurative or abstract figurative art style, leaving a lot of room for your imagination.
