Promenade in a Spring Meadow (2025) Painting by Pascal Giroud

Pascal Giroud is a contemporary French self-taught painter whose journey in art began with his first exhibition in 1998 at the Galerie Jacques Royan in Lyon. A year later, his depictions of Lyon and its surroundings earned him an invitation to exhibit at the Caluire Town Hall. At the age of 30, following a personal exhibition, Giroud joined the Pierre Jean Chaffrey Painting Academy, where he studied under renowned painters André Disdier, Pascale Paradis, and Norbert Vaginay. Their passionate mentorship deeply enriched his artistic foundation and led to his participation in group exhibitions at the Galerie de l'Olympe in Lyon.

In 2009, Giroud transitioned to a professional artistic career, leaving the Lyon region to establish his studio in Haute Provence. Nature serves as his primary source of inspiration, whether capturing expansive landscapes or intimate still lifes. His artistic approach emphasizes the spiritual essence of the present moment, a quality he seeks to convey in every piece. Giroud creates his works using the "alla prima" technique, completing each painting in a single sitting to preserve its immediacy and authenticity.
