Rochette Patrice | Contemporary Artist: Artworks & Biography

Passionate about hiking and traveling, Patrice transmits his attraction for the great urban and natural spaces. A keen observer, he captures in his paintings the original atmospheres and moods that emerge from a specific environment. In his works, a landscape or an ordinary panorama becomes an ephemeral snapshot rich in emotions, and sometimes in mysteries. Oil painting allows the artist to depict with accuracy the depth of the scenery: perspectives, reliefs, colors and contrasts. For texture and form, he uses knives, brushes and other objects as needed. Very attached to the importance of light, he emphasizes the chiaroscuro through the play of shadows and effects of transparency or thickness. Through his painting, Patrice reflects a more singular vision of the world and thus encourages us to apprehend it differently.
