Alain Bouville, born in Versailles on December 31, 1953, studied architecture before turning his attention to world problems and devoting himself to a more practical approach to development. He was involved in this field from 1975 to 1998 in a non profit organisation, in various positions through missions or as a representative, from the West Indies to the Indian Ocean but mostly in Sub Saharan Africa. He then chose to settle in Quercy-Perigord and devoted himself to the protection of the environment in a different way. Trying to give people a deeper understanding, he decided to paint on wood in a simple, strong, universal and timeless language. In order not to interfere between the spectator and the treated subject, he avoids all stylistic effects, preferring to entrust the history-laden and imperfection-rich backing, to bring necessary vibrancy... as if his only aim was helping nature to carry us away into the power of memory and communion.
