"Rêverie" Painting

Philippe Jacquot was born on April 23, 1966, in France. After a stint in decoration, he decided to devote himself solely to painting in 1990. His previous experience allowed him to master painting on glass and collaged materials, thus giving him the opportunity to move beyond the traditional medium of canvas and paper.

Among the various themes he has explored, figures, and particularly women, remain his favorite subject. In each canvas, he seeks aesthetics, lightness, softness, and subtlety through curves and the work of light. His technical mastery of painting allows him to move easily from a realistic style composed of successive glazes to a more abstract style created by energetic brushstrokes of bright colors. This blend can appear on the same canvas.

His constant search for new subjects, atmospheres, and original techniques leads him to create series of paintings that may have no connection with each other. He paints freely according to his mood and inspiration.

Since 1990, he has exhibited in galleries and participated in numerous solo and group exhibitions in France and abroad. Philippe Jacquot's work can be found in private collections in France, as well as in Europe and the United States.
