In addition to his acrylic and watercolor paintings, Richard Poumelin's 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 most recently in the United Sates.
