Terminator (2017) Painting by Pascal Merlin

Pascal Merlin is a contemporary French artist whose dynamic and energetic artistic creations serve as reflections of his inner self. A self-taught artist, Pascal experimented with various techniques including pencils, dry pastels, oils, and watercolors before finding his niche in acrylic paint, which resonated deeply with him. His early works predominantly focused on landscapes and portraits.

In a pivotal shift, Pascal delved into abstract painting for two to three years, exploring mixed techniques with acrylic and the addition of materials. This period of experimentation allowed him to delve deeper into the exploration of colors, space, and emotions. His exhibitions during this time emphasized the feelings and sensations evoked by his work, with a particular emphasis on illuminating light and depth. The result was a kaleidoscope of colors, shapes, and reveries, heightened by the tactile relief of his creations.

Despite returning to drawing in his later works, Pascal retains elements of abstraction, infusing his acrylic creations with a vibrant, modern energy. He imbues his characters with a distinct vitality, granting his artworks a sense of liveliness and dynamism that captivates viewers. Pascal Merlin's art transcends traditional boundaries, offering viewers a glimpse into a world pulsating with life and emotion.
