Coucher de soleil sur Collioure (2012) Painting by Marie-Josée Reyes

Self-taught Catalan painter, I have been painting since 1981, out of a passion for painting.
Landscapes, portraits, bouquets, figurative paintings, impressionist and sometimes surrealist tendencies.
I have participated in some exhibitions groups and individuals.
My passion for painting was born in my childhood. Already at the age of 7 I was admiring the masterpieces of the great painters of the Renaissance as well as the Impressionists whom I loved looking at in the plates on the painting that I found in the Dictionary. I found it hard to imagine that such paintings could be made by human hands.
Drawing was already one of my favorite hobbies.

From 1986 to 1993, I was a member of the Association "Arts et Lettres de France", I participated in a few group exhibitions and I wrote poems in poetry free. I took part in several competitions, including the Grand Prix de Poetry of the City of Martigues in 1987. My poem "l'Ile du Bonheur" obtained the 18th prize out of 800 works received. In April 1993, the reading committee accepted my poem "The Painter" for an insertion in the magazine "Les Coulisses". You can read this one in the presentation of my site.

In 1992, I painted around thirty small watercolors which can be found in my gallery "Aquarelles& #34;, with the aim of making a series of postcards of the Mediterranean coast. I was not able to reproduce the entire series given the cost of reproduction, however I was able to have two reproduced: 'La rue provençale'; and "The torrent" which were marketed through the cooperative 'La plume et le pince'. in Antibes, as well as some works by six other painters. These cards were sold in certain supermarkets in the region during the years 94, 95 and 96.
