Painting St Valentin by Drioton David | Painting Pop-art Pop icons Cardboard Acrylic

David was already painting when he left his family home in Orange (Vaucluse) for an apprenticeship as a cook. In front of the canvas, as behind the stove, he delighted in mixing colours, flavours and the countless opportunities for his imagination. Even if he chose other professional experiences, painting was still a part of his everyday life. Based in Paris, he followed the teaching of Martenot for two years and was trained in the basics of the discipline, the art of relief and strokes. A diligent student, he painted still lifes, portraits, nudes and refined his knowledge under the guidance of the Belgian artist Nadine Forster (twenty – twenty-first centuries). On returning to rural life, he discovered the joys of gardening and dedicated his works to the exuberance of nature.
