Léo-Vinh Beauvois

I'm a self taught and full time painter and life's lover.
My work is composed of mixed media techniques on canvas, mostly painting and collages ( acrylics, oil, paper, fabric...).

I seek harmony. Of the line, of the expression of my subject. I like playing with different textures, contrast between opacity and transparency, matt and glossy...
Choice of colors plays a great part in this elaboration.

The goal of my aproach is to suspend time, to slow down the present moment.
As Henri David Thoreau wrote, « Life is too short to be in a hurry ».
Taking the time to let enter onirism in the everyday life, serenity, a moment to free the imagination,
to let the mind wander.

As i am part french and part vietnamese, i am very inspired by asian culture. But also by great masters of the past, such as Klimt, Mucha, Gauguin, the impressionists, the preraphaelistes...
And pieces of art more recent, even contemporary, often in the photography departement.

Interview with Lisa Williams from www.https://beautifuldayswithart.wordpress.com

Do you have any particular childhood memories of making art/creating things?

Sure, I loved making craft and drawing when I was a kid. I even remember I used to collect craft books I would buy with money from my birthday. I would sit in silence at my desk and start making a project. I also loved to read and write poetry.

What first inspired you to be creative?

I do not really know, I think it was when I was a teenager. I was homeschooled, with my two siblings.
I was free and encouraged to make a lot of art. Sure, I loved making craft and drawing when I was a kid. I even remember I used to collect craft books I would buy with money from my birthday. I would sit in silence at my desk and start making a project. I also loved to read and write poetry.

Have you ever had a particularly inspiring teacher or mentor?

Actually, I had a lot of them! My art studies have been very eclectic. As I said, I’ve been homeschooled most of my teenage years. And my instruction in art was randomly done by artist friends of my parent or opportunities. My first teachers? Our neighbour, a Tunisian artist/watercolourist, who was also a builder. Vanylle a friend...
