La mer Méditerranée, le rivage, en descendant à la plage ensoleillée à travers la garrigue. Odeurs d'essences végétales des plantes et des arbres surchauffées par les après-midi d'été. Le sol est recouvert de débris d'écorces, de feuilles sèches, d'aiguilles de pins, de brindilles que le temps et les pas ont brisés en fine mouture odorante pareil à un mélange d'encens éparpillé, brûlant, accompagnant le cours du sentier d'effluves enivrants. J'ai peint en noir et blanc pour capter la lumière radieuse de cette arrivée au bord de la mer. La couleur devenue superflue et ostentatoire a été oubliée.

About this artwork: Classification, Techniques & Styles

Watercolor

Watercolor is a painting in which gum arabic binds transparent pigments revealing the support of the painting. The gouache, of identical composition, is opaque. A watercolor is a water-based painting on paper. We rarely speak of a painting for a work painted in watercolor. Watercolor paintings are considered to be a unique way to creatively represent dreams, illusions, emotions and luminous feelings using water soluble pigments. However, painting with watercolors can be difficult. It's a difficult medium to master, in large part because it can be ruthless and unpredictable. Mistakes are difficult to correct and its fluid nature makes it difficult to control. Yet it is these very qualities that give the medium its undeniable charm.

Tempera

Paint based on an emulsion, greasy or lean with a pigment. Traditionally it is a painting using egg yolk, a natural emulsion, or whole egg as a medium to bind pigments.

Technic Painting

Painting is an art form of painting on a surface by aesthetically applying colored fluids. Painters represent a very personal expression on supports such as paper, rock, canvas, wood, bark, glass, concrete and many other substrates. Work of representation or invention, painting can be naturalistic and figurative, or abstract. It can have narrative, descriptive, symbolic, spiritual, or philosophical content.

- Nature is my inspiration - Nature, femininity, the beauty of Provence and the Côte d'Azur, flowers, animals, interpreted with gentleness and emotion are the vital sources which each time inspire me take me to territories from where I bring back new images. I like to show the unexpected and share the wonder in my works with a great predilection for watercolor because of the transparency of the colors, the speed of implementation, the atmospheres bright as I get.

I use this wonderful medium at all times in my artistic life for its capacity for suggestion as the leaven of my works and all my creative desires: luxury, fashion, perfume, beauty, decoration, design , painting, sculpture.

I also use it monochrome in washes of black in shades of gray. This form of writing, common among painters of the past, allows me to capture the essential without the ostentation of color. The impression that emerges can be compared to a black and white photographic print where the powerful contrasts alongside the subtle grays dramatize the scene while synthesizing it.

Artist, artistic director, designer in the field of luxury, fashion, perfume and decoration, well-known brands have been seduced by the poetic universe of my watercolors and my creations. I am particularly grateful to them:

-Parfums Lolita Lempicka, Pacific Création, Lolita Lempicka couture Paris, Cartier International, Parfums Christian Dior, Parfums Azzaro, Parfums Annick Goutal, Champagne Krug, Nobilis, Nespresso, Daniel Hechter , CJ Home Shopping South Korea, Salon L'Art du Jardin, Jardiland, Maisons Côté Sud, Paris Joyce, Daum, Ladurée…

-Equestrio-Spring Issue 2015-Pascal Renauldon: " The equestrian works of Michel Charrier, watercolors or black ink drawings with sober lines and great finesse which suggest the essential: the harmony between the horse, the ;man and nature, the beauty and grace of the horse and riders, the beautiful, supple and varied gaits of the animal!"

-Horse Days-Anne Deram: look with what finesse the shapes of the horse are suggested. Observe the harmony of the features combined with a unique shaping of the light which transports us to romantic stories where the horse is the main actor. Discover the equestrian, vaporous and powerful expression of this painter."

-l'Eperon et Cavadeos- Claude Bigeon:"Creator designer in the world of fashion, luxury and perfume, Michel Charrier draws and paints horses and their riders with gentleness and emotion."
