Painting Super Mario, fou de Porsche by Cornée Patrick | Painting Pop-art Pop icons Sport Child Graffiti Oil

Patrick Cornée joined the marines at age 16, encouraged by his father who was a career military man. He is quickly noticed for his unique personality and after six years spent navigating around the world, he returned to life as a civilian. The greatest upheaval of his life was paradoxically the return to childhood: he returned to his early passion for drawing and the joy he felt in recreating the world as he saw fit. Patrick indeed discovered his love for painting and drawing at the age of 5, and the spontaneous creation of an imaginary character revealed his artistic side and his taste for art. He chose to let his morose routine be shattered and enrolled at the fine arts school of Toulon. His paintings are full of allusions to the contemporary world he views with humour and good intentions. He has participated in many expositions throughout Europe, the United States and Asia in which his paintings, like echoes of his love for life, have won over the most diverse crowds.
