Marine 70x70 (2019) Painting by Yan Bragance

A graduate of the Beaux-Arts de Paris, I have worked for 30 years for the textile industry on clothing collections. In particular, I was a graphic designer for the collections of Emile N'Tamack, THALASSA, ADIDAS, OLIPHIL…
Thus, I create graphic designs for screen printing and embroidery by CAD and participate in the artistic choices of the collections.
With young people, I animated and taught for national education.
But for 7 years, painting has become my main activity. I first reproduced many works by masters before embarking on personal creations.
Originally from French Guiana, these are the colors of the imposing Amazonian nature, the faces of women and children of Guyana, the authenticity of the inhabitants and the forest in all its diversity that inspire me now.
Although my paintings are mainly done in acrylic on canvas, I explore different techniques such as the knife, projections, impasto and drips, always leaving room for noble research and the style to evolve.

I have lived since 1998 in the beautiful region of Occitanie, first in the Gers, then near Tarbes in Hautes-Pyrenees, France. There, between the rustic countryside and the majestic mountain, the calm and beauty never cease to encourage me to paint.
