Painting La rue nationale by Gutierrez | Painting Impressionism Urban Watercolor

Hailing from the Algerian port town of Oran, Pierre Gutierrez moved to the other side of the Mediterranean to Marseilles, where he worked in the fields of publishing, design and advertising for several years. In 1998, he moved to the neighbouring town of Carnoux-en-Provence. Over the years, the painter participated in several local art exhibitions that boosted his confidence in his talent and helped him rise in stature in the artistic community. He also loves conducting artistic workshops where he urges his students to explore surrounding areas with him and sketch what they behold on the spot.
