I wish I were a messager of perfect moments.
Painting is building silence.
I’m not looking for the mystery of the shadow,
but the mystery of the full light.
Born in Valence, known as the gateway to Provence, Pierre Boncompain is recognized as a modern French master, and inheritor of the colorist tradition. Over the last five decades he has exhibited in Europe, Asia, United States and of course all over France, most recently in a momentous retrospective at the Musée d’Art Contemporain Saint Martin in Montélimar.
