Poumelin's European Reflections

A classic experimentalist, Poumelin began to draw in his native France when he was 16. Today he is recognized as one of the contemporary rising stars. Self taught Poumelin is inspired by many of the impressionist and post-impressionist masters. In addition to his acrylic and watercolor paintings, his art is expressed in his music as an accomplished guitarist. His landscapes, still lifes, and his musical themed paintings are filled with a spiritual exercise…filled with powerful harmonies and magic reality, and sensitive serenity. Poumelin possesses a meticulous awareness of his craft and his art. He remains faithful to the motif, to the object, to the unmistakable poetic elements. A silver medallist in 1996 at the Grand Salon Internationnal de Peinture, and the grand prize gold medallist in 1997 at the Internationnal d’Arts Plastiques Poumelin’s work are in a number of significant private and corporate collections. His art is widely exhibited in France, Italy, Canada, Corsica, and the U.S.
