Gutierrez | Contemporary Artist: Artworks & Biography

It was a happy coincidence that introduced Pierre to the watercolour paintings of the Provençal landscape-painter, Marius Pauzat (1832-1909) and he literally fell under the spell of this work and the aesthetic quality of his creations. Captivated, he began practicing this new painting technique, drawing his themes from the immeasurable beauty of the coastal outskirts of his adoptive region. Backed by invaluable experience in drawing and sketching, Gutierrez adapted to watercolour painting quickly and carved out a niche for himself. Painting became an integral part of his daily life. It was something that he took along with him on his leisurely walks, sometimes capturing the seaside or a shaded terrace or, at other times, a lane flanked by trees on a bright day. Pierre enjoys painting and capturing those landscapes.
