Painting L’étang by Mahieu Bertrand | Painting Figurative Landscapes Metal

Art has always been part of Bertrand MAHIEU's life. At the age of 8, he learns to play the violin and will thus practice music for many years. He is also interested in painting, which he practices as an amateur. He entered the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique de Lyon in 1987, from which he graduated with a first prize in 1991. Two years later, the violinist was recruited by the Rouen Opera as first solo violin. At the same time, he validated in 2004 two years of studies in Art History at the University of Lille. In 2012, he was diagnosed with a disease in his left hand. Bertrand will then have to undergo a series of surgeries following which he will not be able to practice as a violinist. In 2015, he turns to plastic art.
