European Reflections By French Artist Poumelin

Poumelin's landscapes, Venetian seascapes, still lifes, and his other paintings are filled with a spiritual exercise…filled with powerful harmonies and magic reality, and sensitive serenity. He remains faithful to the motif, to the object, to the unmistakable poetic elements. His works evoke a feeling, a sense of place, and sometimes the gold paint jumps out against the serene black and white. A silver medallist in 1996 at the Grand Salon Internationnal de Peinture, and the grand prize gold medalist 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 United Sates. Poumelinn started drawing at the age of 16. Always in a search of an absolute truth, artistic creation turned out to be an answer to his questions. He became a student of Jean-Georges Inca, a painter who is concerned with the clash of civilizations.
