La Catène (2020) Photography by Desnoyers

Desnoyers, painter and digital artist, was born on May 6, 1950 and established his home in Le Havre in 1974. His artistic journey is a love story with painting that began in his childhood.

From a young age, Desnoyers was captivated by the art of painting. It was a passion that drove him deeply, and he continued to paint throughout his life. At the age of 18, he joined the Navy, a choice that reinforced his love for the sea and everything related to it. His travels around the world, particularly in the Pacific, have profoundly influenced his artistic work. He was particularly drawn to the vibrant colors of acrylic, which he used to bring his maritime visions to life.

However, despite his passion for art, Desnoyers was forced to put his artistic career aside for many years to pursue more lucrative professional activities. This forced break, however, was a period of artistic maturation, during which he refined his technique and artistic vision.

In 1996, a decisive meeting with a professional from the art world breathed new life into her creative passion. This event encouraged him to share his works with the general public. From 1999, he began to exhibit his creations, whether solo or within artistic groups. His work has been rewarded with several honorary distinctions, thus affirming his status as an accomplished artist.

In April 2001, Desnoyers had his first solo exhibition in Paris, marking the beginning of a series of artistic successes. Each of his exhibitions has been crowned with success, testifying to the profound impact of his art on the public.

At the end of 2003, he became a member of the Union Artistique de Fécamp et du Pays de Caux (UAFPC), an important step in his artistic career that strengthened his connection with the local art world.
