Nicolas Maureau is a contemporary French painter who embarked on his artistic journey with a solid foundation in the arts, having graduated from the prestigious École supérieure d’art de Bretagne in Rennes. His artistic evolution took a significant turn in 2009 when he shifted his focus towards figuration, marking the inception of his distinctive artistic voice. The following year, in 2010, he garnered recognition for his talent by receiving the special prize from the ArToulouse jury, affirming his burgeoning presence in the art world.

Maureau's artwork has found ample exposure on a national scale, with numerous exhibitions showcasing his creations. Central to his artistic exploration is the rich iconography of painting that predates the year 1914. Through his work, he delves deep into the annals of art history, seeking to unravel the threads that connect past artistic expressions with our contemporary individual and societal behaviors.

Intriguingly, Nicolas Maureau's art extends beyond historical reflections. He skillfully translates complex notions of gender and explores the intricate relationship between the male and female bodies. His figurative compositions come to life on canvas through the adept use of acrylics and oils, reflecting his mastery of the medium.

Nicolas Maureau's artistic contributions have not gone unnoticed, finding their place in both private and public art collections, including the prestigious Draguignan art library. Furthermore, his work has been showcased in various publications, such as "The Art of Men USA" in 2016, "Beaux-arts magazine" in 2014 and 2018, and "Parcours des Arts" in 2021. His art continues to captivate audiences, inviting them to explore the interplay between history, gender, and the human form through the lens of a gifted contemporary French painter.
