Painting Paysage by Bernard Devie | Painting Figurative Mixed Landscapes

Bernard DEVIE first experienced a love for art and painting when he was 12. There was no space left in a drama workshop at his school so they offered him a place in a painting workshop where he flourished. He then moved into architecture but soon realised that office work wasn't for him. Bernard went into teaching young children and spent his evenings at painting and sculpture classes. The artist moved to Grenoble in 1974 then Lyon in 1988 and split his time between teaching and art. The mid-2000s saw him devote himself entirely to painting.
