Rafael de Tours - Bichon

Rafael de Tours - Bichon primarily works with large-format paintings on canvas or paper, sometimes painting outdoors on the ground. He draws inspiration from his extensive background in art restoration (Atelier Rafael, Nice, French Riviera) and his training at the École du Louvre. He combines elegant materials, refined finishes, gilding, and metal leaf with a unique style that blends sophisticated figuration with poetic abstraction. His works convey a powerful spiritual quest, a sense of renewal and awareness, inviting viewers to experience nature as a mirror of the soul and to awaken to their own polarities and energies.
