Biography

Antoine is a realist painter working in oil, pastels, watercolors and fusain. His work incorporates spiritual symbolism to express the human feeling of solitude and reflection.
“This solitude gives us the time to reflect our origin and to understand where our place is in the universe.” After the solitude, we can dream of hope and rebirth.

Antoine lives in Northern California and Southwest of France.
