Antoine Renault

Antoine Renault is a French artist based on Noirmoutier island. His themes are the invincible summer and the lightness of being.

He is best known for his surprisingly realistic works on water. He constantly plays with the borders of realism: His paintings look photorealistic from distance and almost abstract when closer to the canvas, where visible brush strokes create room for emotions and echo.

Born in Nantes in 1963, Antoine Renault is a self-taught painter. His series "Ocean Paintings" brought him international recognition in 2012. Since then, his work has been featured in many magazines. His paintings are in private and corporate collections of 17 countries.
