FREDERIC
ROUSSEAU

Born in Paris in 1974, I always combined a French Cartesian mind and an artistic irresistible dynamic. This heterogeneous personality led me to base my pictural works on a theoretical and empiric background (even if acquired as an autodidact) and to aim at exploring the subtle poetry that can emerge from various visual experiences (even in the genre of satire).

For its part, the cartesian mind had the opportunity to be sustained by my scientific studies, my works in research and development, and by the two years that I eventually spent at the Sorbonne (though this experience could have officially brought me closer to the arts). After 15 years in Paris (France) and 3 years in Nice (France), I am now living in Turin (Italia).

The years in France gave me the opportunity to meet art lovers and collectors, and to sell paintings to very different people of various nationalities, in some unofficial places for exhibitions (Baz’Art Café, PARIS, in spring and autumn 2002; OPA, PARIS, in spring 2004; Cabinet CIMI de Erick PETIT & associés, PARIS, during winter 2013 & 2014).

My way of expression is particularly adapted to oil painting techniques, as it requires a blend of time and spontaneity, of textures and transparency, of superficial brushstrokes and chromatic deepness.
