Gérard DETRAIT, artist pseudonym "GD La Palette" < /p>

Self-taught amateur painter, I tested and diversified techniques and supports.

A few months in painting association then allowed me to develop them further.
Today, my creations are in acrylic, oil, pastel, ink and sanguine on supports such as canvas, papyrus, wood, cardboard, bristol or more exotic papers.

My beginnings included works or photos on various themes (landscapes, animals, boats, portraits). I don't orient myself towards any style, trend or fashion, it is simply my tastes and the subjects that guide me or the requests of clients.

Little by little, I am ;emancipates by leaving more freedom to my inspirations.

My current works are oriented on the sensual and generally on the "chiaroscuro". I find that the play of contrasts and the mastery of lights enhance the shapes and give more free rein to the imagination of art lovers.

Part of My works have been scattered over the years, I create about ten works per year oil, acrylic, watercolor, charcoal, pencil, ink.
