André est né à Bethsaïde, en Galilée, sur les bords du lac de Tibériade. Avec son frère Simon, il était pêcheur. Recherchant Dieu, il avait d’abord été le disciple du prédicateur Jean le Baptiste, qui l’avait certainement baptisé.
La Légende dorée rapporte que son supplice fut ordonné par le proconsul de la région, dont saint André avait converti l’épouse et qui lui avait offert l’alternative suivante : sacrifier aux idoles ou mourir sur la croix. Ayant choisi le martyre, l’apôtre survécut pendant deux jours, durant lesquels il prêcha à la foule, qui s’indigna et menaça le proconsul de mort. Celui-ci chercha donc à le faire descendre de la croix, mais on ne put le délier et le saint mourut dans une grande lumière.
La croix de supplice sur laquelle il a été crucifié aurait été en forme de X, ce qui a donné le nom de croix de saint André.
I learned my job as a visual artist at the Beaux Arts in Quimper and worked with very talented artists, Danièle MADEC (painting with a knife), Jean Jacques QUINQUIS (watercolor), Yves DOARE (engraving), Louis DERBRE (sculpture).
For 10 years, my work has focused on 2 subjects: the human body and the contemporary vision of Breton heritage (31 award-winning works). Many local but also international exhibitions (Tunisia, Japan) have hosted my paintings.
In 2004, I had the chance to meet an extraordinary painter, Jean TIRILLY. Since then we have been working together. By his side, I learned to paint what I saw in myself. He allowed me to dare.
Spirituality and the human being nourish my inspiration.
In addition, holder of an art therapist diploma from the Faculty of Medicine and Pharmacy of Poitiers, I specialized in helping and caring for drug addicts.
Art therapy is a therapeutic means of fighting addiction. I developed this subject in the book "Discover Art Therapy - Words on pain - Colors on pain" published by Larousse, Paris 2010.
