Blason familiale Painting by Jean-François Albert

Coming from a large post-war family, a time when one could not study or attend a specialized school, I nevertheless, after spending a very large part of my childhood in hospitals, learned and work in the creation of theater sets, as a teenager I managed to enter a music school for the guitar, then my disability from birth prohibited me from all artistic activity and after a short period in the theater Drama- liturgical  it was at the age of 55 that I was able to practice the piano for around ten years until the  moment when illness affected my hands and it was at the age of 60 years ago that I resumed drawing and then painting as an amateur, hoping that my disability would put it on hold or at least no longer progress so that I could continue to occupy the rest of my time which passes very quickly.

< p>Picky in all areas, I chose to express myself through the abstract and play with colors. Paintings which are sometimes less poetic but more political. For me, colors and shapes do not cheat and can sometimes express sadness or happiness or even poetry. I leave it to everyone to see themselves or not in my work and my visions, which often only represent the state of mind of a moment in this much less colorful world.

       If creating a work is a real pleasure for those who enjoy it as well as for those who find the same pleasure in looking at it,  these creations also allow me, I admit, and following my look at the world around me, to 'used this means of expression to convey messages without any pretension but sometimes with a little bitterness when I look at the evolution of the behavior of my fellow citizens... All ages combined

As a former practicing a certain art, I chose to match my personality, as well as my predilection for interior natural colors, oil painting with the particularity of the knife but above all, the tip of the knife which allows me to obtain reflections in three dimensions, accompanied by geometric streaks which give a shape within the shape, my predilection for colors. Which makes it very difficult for a poorly equipped amateur to take good quality photos, and which highlight the work.

My motto in resuming an artistic activity, in this case painting, is to not to find myself in the competition and doing the same thing as everyone else,

Artistically modest in the eyes of our fathers.
