LUC-BRUN PERASSO AWARDED WITH THE «PAINTING PRIZE» OF JURY FOR HIS ARTWORK
«I was born on December 26, 1964 in Marseille, I paint since my youngest age in a self-taught way. As a student at the Ecole Superieure des Beaux-Arts in Marseille, my artistic career has been punctuated and hampered by the vagaries of life, I have only really taken up brushes very seriously for about ten years.
Luc Brun-Perasso Prize of Jury for Painting
I use India ink and colored brush to create hyperrealistic works, compositions, portraits and scenes that move us, whose deep blacks enhance the light.
The detail, the meticulous side grabs me, calls me, nourishes me and frees me.
I cultivate a sense of detail so that my paintings take us on inner journeys that reconnect us to our humanity.
Perfectionism drives my creativity and allows me to share my vision of the world, my questions, my concerns and my hopes.
Listed at Drouot and exhibiting more and more often, I hope to share my art more and more widely on the international scene.»
