Antoine Renault is a self-taught artist from Paris, France.
I started to paint by chance on a summer day. Since then, I never stopped painting the feelings of that same day: simple instants of happiness and freedom close to the sea. My favorite ingredients? Transparency and reflection. Sprinkle with a pinch of sexiness. Bake under the summer sun. Serve on the ocean side.
I was a passionate photographer before becoming a painter, which of course does influence the way I choose to compose and frame my paintings. I always start from photos, and then “arrange” the reality in a way that best fits my mood and my very simple color palette (I work exclusively with always the same four colors now).

Expressionist and primitivist - Francesco Garieri living and working in Metz, Lorraine, France. In his paintings he explores corporations and individuals, war and peace and the media.
The themes of my work are many and varied. For example, I’m interested in the evolution of our society, and the effects of technology upon mankind and our evolution. Technology has the ability to end wars and impact social differences, but its consumption can also pollute the world, and destroy nature. Is it possible for technology to contribute to making us slaves of a system of thought that will speed the decline of the human race, creating a large-scale disaster? My job as an artist is to express the moment to the observer facing his or her own issues and conscience.
I like to mix techniques and styles in the same work, while keeping the freedom of intuition at the time of creation. I think that this brings life to my work, and sometimes I cover parts of the canvas that don’t suit my needs; I build and deconstruct until I find a balance in the composition.
