Ramatuelle (2018) Painting by René Barranco

Based in Toulon (France), René Barranco is a multifaceted artist who expresses himself through painting, photography, digital art and sculpture.

In his paintings, he uses oil for its slow drying, which allows him to perfectly control blending and blending. He does not hesitate to incorporate materials such as fabrics, paper or cardboard to give his compositions strength and character. He plays with lines and light to create simple and captivating images. He prepares his work in advance, sketching out sketches in his notebook or creating compositions on screen.

In the field of digital arts, he uses technology to unleash his creativity and create unique works, printable on various supports such as paper, fabric, plexiglass and aluminum.

In terms of sculpture, he finds his inspiration in materials recovered from beaches and seasides. Driftwood, stones, pebbles and even rusty scrap metal become the bases of his sculptures modeled in polymer clay, thus giving life to imaginary and mythical characters.

Since the beginning of 2020, he has been part of a collective of permanent artists at the contemporary art gallery “ESPACE CASTILLON” in Toulon.
