Painting Marvoil 86 by Francis Jalibert | Painting Figurative Oil Marine

Originally from Aude, Francis has always practised drawing and naturally he began painting. Since then, this passion has not left him despite an intense professional career that forced him to put his practice to one side for a time. He began his learning by applying himself with a paintbrush to reproduce the subjects as accurately as possible; and would thus practise the different genres offered by this discipline – landscapes, marines, historical paintings, life scenes etc. Later, his desire to evolve would lead him towards more spontaneity and it was with this experimental approach that he tried his hand at the knife technique. This new tools would allow him to feel the pictorial material and would offer him a range of possibilities in the expression of his art. Adopting a less formal, more instinctive approach than before, the selftaught painter would intensify his technique and develop a research based on the harmony of colours and the composition of the material.
