Biography
Alain Retiere, a contemporary French painter, was born in Nantes in 1954, where he began practicing drawing and painting from a young age. As a teenager, he received an old oil color box as a gift, which sparked a profound discovery and revelation for him. Since then, he has consistently pursued this technique with unyielding pleasure and happiness.
Despite his passion for art, his career commitments afforded him numerous opportunities to travel the world, albeit leaving little time for his artistic pursuits. However, upon retiring from his busy professional life, he seized the chance to fully dedicate himself to his lifelong passion. In recent years, he has also explored watercolor painting, attending courses to refine his skills.
Retiere's artistic style is resolutely figurative, with a particular fondness for landscapes. He finds inspiration in the minutiae of graphic detail, the harmonies of color, the interplay of light, and the evocation of memories, all of which influence his choice of subjects. He harbors a deep affection for the colors and serenity of his beautiful region, which often serves as a prominent motif in his work.

Reviews and comments
Merci beaucoup Alain pour votre ajout sur votre collection .Amicalement José.
The picture of powers hamburgers, both of my husbands grandmas, and his mother all worked at powers burgers. When did you create this beautiful painting? We think it is them in the painting. I would love to purchase a copy.
I made this painting from a picture I took during my stay in Fort Wayne in 2018.
I like this scenery because it reminds me the atmosphere of Edward Hopper's paintings. Edward Hopper is one of my favorite painters.
I am very happy that you like my painting.
Merci beaucoup pour ce commentaire et votre conseil, vous avez raison je vais utiliser des formats plus grands autant pour le travail à l'huile que pour les aquarelles.

très belle peinture, une vache de très beau ton de peinture, très juste, teinte respectée, un seul défaut les tailles des toiles, je trouve un peu petit, je verrai bien vos œuvres sur des grands formats ,bravo encore pour votre qualité de dessins et de couleurs que je trouve magnifique
Merci pour l’intérêt que vous portez à mon « Petit coin de paradis »
