Read MoreAccording to the Artist Dominique Meunier, painting is above all, a family matter. A passion he inherited from his mother, a painter and drawer herself, whose work has been exhibited at Besançon’s Fine Arts Museum. Painting has been prevalent through his life since childhood. Even beyond the pictorial technique, she taught him the importance of the observation of painters, particularly those whom she much admired like Millet, Corot and Courbet. Painters from his region, “Franche Comté”.
Further, a career in industrial serigraphy aroused Dominique Meunier’s interest for mixed media and a variety of supports. In the early 2000’s, a near-death experience following a serious accident changed the direction of his life dramatically. Painting then became an "inner necessity" to help him reclaim his life. For the Artist, referring to a thought of Rodin, painting only started with the inner truth, like a life emergency, a cathartic quest. It is in this way, that he devotes himself to painting and creation.
In keeping with his own inner journey, Dominique Meunier decided in 2014 to leave the intimacy of his painting studio and share with the world, the energy breath of his spiritual and meditative painting, a true ode to Nature. Since then, the artist has shown his paintings in both France and abroad, in galleries and Contemporary Art fairs.
