Painting ST71-BREST by Héraud Alain | Painting Oil

Alain was born and raised in Paris. When he was 12 years old he attended art workshops at the Louvre and this experience was a determining factor in his artistic orientation. At 16 he entered the Graphic Arts School of Corvisart, and after graduation he began painting and lived off of small odd jobs. He began exhibiting at the Autumn Art Fair at the Grand Palais in Paris. Several years would go by before he would realise the importance of painting in his life and decide to make it his career. At 40 he left Paris and moved to Brittany to devote himself fully to his passion.
