Painting Exascio by Guillet Jerome | Painting Figurative Urban Oil Acrylic

At the age of fifteen, Jérôme experienced artistic practice through the painstaking task of creating sets and coloring fantastic figurines used in board games. Fascinated by the works of the Dutch school of painters - and more particularly by the chiaroscuro techniques admirably mastered by Rembrandt and Vermeer - the young artist tried to "recreate this atmosphere in [his] scenettes", which won several prizes in local and national competitions. This highly instructive passion gave him the opportunity to tackle all facets of pictorial creation, from learning the basics of oil painting to understanding chromatic properties. Subsequently, by experimenting with different styles and techniques, the self-taught painter learns to let go of certain requirements to better approach the freedom of gesture and translate, in a spontaneous way, his emotions onto his support.
