The luminous and expressive works of Jiel, a contemporary painter in Provence.
Sète, the old fishing district
Work sold
This painting depicts the old fishing district of Sète, on the Thau lagoon, at Pointe Courte. I wanted to capture the unique ambiance of this place, where boats and vibrant colors blend together to create an atmosphere that is both calm and dynamic. With touches of light and depth, I worked on every detail so that the work evokes the daily life of the fishermen and the authenticity of this emblematic district. The 81 x 65 cm format, in blue and orange tones, highlights the beauty of the landscape while bringing a sense of movement.

Jiel, a professional contemporary painter from the PACA region, surprises with his deceptively naive style, imbued with a childlike soul, the essential source of his creative universe. His works, far from a faithful reproduction of reality, transform and distort the world to make it his own, playing on contrasts and marrying warm and cool colors to reach a temperature of 37 degrees. A true antidote to doldrums and gloom.
