Abou El Tanarek Painting

Voici une version anglaise raffinée, adaptée pour un catalogue ou une galerie internationale : In Provence, at the foot of the Sainte-Baume, my studio is located in Nans-les-Pins. My passion for horses naturally led me to work with leather. Self-taught in carving, I quickly translated my love for drawing animals — particularly their expressive eyes — into my artwork. Initially created as ornamental motifs, my animal designs gradually evolved into painted pieces on leather, giving rise to unique and living artworks. What began as a personal pursuit has grown into my vocation. I create custom pieces for collectors, nature enthusiasts, and lovers of exceptional objects, while exploring animal painting inspired by the beauty of nature, ever-present in my life. During my first exhibition, the public was captivated by the strength and sensitivity of my works. My goal is to carve and paint these animals to reveal their natural beauty and purity, offering each viewer an intimate encounter with the living through leather.
