À travers mon travail personnel (différent de mon travail pour le cinéma), je tente de plonger le spectateur dans le même état émotionnel dans lequel je me trouvais au moment de l'execution de l'oeuvre, dans le même monde étrange et fascinant, nourri par le besoin de rêve, d'aventure et d'évasion, mais aussi le besoin de renouer avec l'insolite, le silence mystique et insondable, au-delà du confort de la société moderniste et prévisible.
Through my personal work, I attempt to plunge the viewer in the same emotional state I was in when the artwork was created, in the same strange and fascinating world, fed by the need for dream, adventure and escape, but also the need to reconnect with the unusual, the mystical and unfathomable silence, beyond the comfort of a modern and predictable society.

Biography
Christophe Vacher is a contemporary French artist. Since 1989, he has been involved in providing backgrounds and visual development for the Animation industry and Walt Disney Pictures. His artistic contributions encompassed painting backgrounds and conceptual artwork for renowned animated films including "The Hunchback of Notre Dame," "Runaway Brain," "Hercules," "Tarzan," "Fantasia 2000," "Dinosaur," and "Treasure Planet." In February 2002, he left the Disney studios to dedicate himself fully to creating personal artworks for galleries.
Vacher's visual style draws inspiration from esteemed art movements such as the Hudson River School, the Romantics, and the European Symbolists, known for their grandiose and theatrical landscapes. Additionally, he incorporates influences from contemporary artists like Sandorfi, Beksinski, Ugarte, and the Visionaries (Les Visionnaires) in France. He characterizes his painting process as an unending quest for capturing the utmost splendor, spirituality, and improbable visions.
