Christophe Moreau

Born in Marseille, I am a self-taught artist. Part of my apprenticeship nevertheless took place through meetings and exchanges with a few artists from the Rhône-Alpes region where we were living with my parents. During this period I did all kinds of experiments and learned several techniques, from oil painting to pastel and even modeling. Many attempts before finally returning a few years later to the techniques of my childhood: gouache, watercolor and mainly pencil.

My work is autobiographical, it is inspired by my daily life, my experiences, my questions; It is the reflection of these captured moments that remain frozen in my memory. Through my encounters, I sometimes become the vehicle for expressing the emotions of others that I try to transcribe as well as possible in my paintings. My works then become the fruit of sharing.

When the image is in memory, everything then consists of best transcribing the atmosphere that emanates from the moment: removing certain contours, interpreting the light to keep only the essentials. Because in the end all the challenge is there, to get as close as possible to the original emotion. A research that is based on elements that may seem contradictory: where my technique consists of a realistic rendering, or at least to transcribe a certain reality, it must express the impalpable.
