About Me
Translated by Google. Click to view original.
A naturalist painter, author of numerous books devoted to the great natural regions of the planet, also an engraver and sculptor. Born in 1958 in France, living in Geneva, Eric is a gold medalist for French animal artists, laureate of the Fondation de la Vocation, member of the Guild of Natural Science Illustrators of the United States.His painted works employ a variety of techniques, including watercolor, ink, drawing, and oil and acrylic paint. Some large works also use gold leaf. We can apply Cézanne's phrase to this artist: "It is not so much nature that interests me as the forces of nature." By contemplating and studying the animals, the flora and the landscape, Eric shares a look that is both poetic and realistic on the wild world - a look that challenges man and his often irresponsible behavior towards the environment, because it has become insensitive. Some magnificent portraits of inhabitants of the regions visited or details of the historical heritage extend and complete the evocation of the world of the mountains or the desert. Certain oriental inspirations as well as the influence of lyrical abstraction give to his representations of wild life, with its forms and rhythms, a singular intensity and depth. The line, like the colors, magnifies the fruit of patient observation, both by bringing it back to the essential and by projecting it elsewhere.
His works have been the subject of several exhibitions, notably at the Natural History Museums of Geneva and Paris. They are present in public and private collections.
HOW IT WORKS ?

2. You will have 1 week to practice, and send me your watercolors by email.

MENTORING IN ARTS : Discover how to say something through your artistic work.I am a visual artist born in Barcelona, settled in Belgium since 2017. As an artist I have accumulated experience for the last 25 years. I am graduated with an Academic Bachelor in Fine Arts in the University of Barcelona and graduated as a Master in Visual Arts at Sint Lucas School of Arts in Antwerpen.
I am specialised in painting, drawing, experimental films, installations, language, sound and curating. In other words, I am a multidisciplinary artist.
I understand the artistic practice as a way to understand ourselves and the situations which surrounds us. In my classes I don't teach how to do Art, but as how to say something through your artistic work. With me you can work independently, with a coach who will challenge you with some assignments and giving feedback to your personal concerns.
In addition, you will learn how to work with several mediums, preparing your own material: paintings, canvases, and so on.
You will not only receive individual coaching but as encourage you to look other artists or take into account other references connected with your concerns.
Finding, discussing and retaking solutions together are the core of my classes.

Realistic drawing, academic drawing, figurative drawingContrary to popular belief, realistic drawing will never be outdated, not because of some strange fixation in academic art, but because of its usefulness in a huge variety of tasks that are or are not related to the art field. To me, more than anything, realistic drawing offers an explanation of the world that is somehow shoothing and fulfilling.
