Acrylic, Collage on Linen
28x28in
France
Born in 1968, Jacques is an experienced artist. In 1993, having become a certified mathematics teacher in a secondary school, he realized that his future lay elsewhere: in his passion for art.
Jacques became a professional painter in 1997.
The theme of feelings is central to his work. Thus, each collage creates a visual rhythm embodying the complexity of emotions and feelings in our intertwined lives. Each fragment becomes a thought, and together they form a kind of meditative, colorful tapestry. Meditation and yoga, incidentally, are practices that Jacques has assiduously pursued for years.
Finally, Jacques loves this simple fact: diverting old magazine papers destined for the landfill to make, almost eternally, contemporary works of art.
A bit of a nonconformist, Jacques draws on his personal origins, which were rather very poor, for the seeds of his creation.
