Rousseau Patrick | Contemporary Artist: Artworks & Biography

Patrick grew up in Poitou-Charentes and has had a passion for drawing since his childhood. He studied at the Fine Arts School in Angoulême where he learned different techniques. He focused on painting, which particularly appealed to him. An avid traveler, he began visiting his native region and the Atlantic coast. Then he lived for some time in the heart of the mountains of Argentina. There he learned to understand people, their customs, their inner worlds and found that despite cultural differences the same desires drive all men. He then visited Prague, Florence, Venice, Rome ... and of course Paris, where he now lives. Patrick has sketchbooks from his travels, and he paints his sketches and enriches the colours with a spatula. He always works in oils with a palette of pastel shades. Recently, he dared using reds and blues, while still maintaining a whimsical atmosphere.
