Maurice Tessier

Summary: An audacious and dynamic artist who challenges all subjects. His selective sense of observation illustrate a vision which result in very suttle paintings. His love of nature is communicated with force and vitality expressed by an' impressionist approach'.

Statement:- Artistic Thoughts

As an artist my style is particular, my source of inspiration comes from the impressionist school. My research involves a direct impression of confrontation with nature which I perceive as the only truth. I believe that artistic expression is achieved through study, practice, and a developed sense of observation. In addition, the result of my search for light meant that all the senses came into play, even the psychic through emotions and feelings. With nature as a subject we cannot know any boundaries. I am not looking for something in particular but above all elements which amaze me and which stimulate me to want to quickly capture the essentials of the light, the representation of true nature

Technique:

Sometimes my technique varies depending on the subjects and emotions involved. I prefer to paint in a relaxed way, with a free and expressive brushstroke with impasto. This catches the eye with a more vibrant color. For me the detail is not important since I prefer that the person viewing the work be involved in the entire work. Therefore abstract art for me is very pretty but never speaks enough. I have the firm opinion that important challenges must improve reality through strong drawing in order to express emotions and a lot of feelings. By painting outdoors I let the subject impregnate me visually and emotionally. To avoid losing this feeling, I paint by quickly applying spots of color to the canvas to avoid any intellectualization of the subject. I am convinced that without effort there is no evidence of talent because talent is surely the expression of a desire, of an internal search to succeed regardless of the work necessary to fulfill one's destiny. For the artist, each painting is only the definition of a moment in time, of the effect of light and of the intellectual state of the artist of wanting to produce something to share. Capturing the elements of nature is intoxicating and that is why I remain an eternal student in search of the truth. Art enriches our lives and gives voice to our sensitive fibers and it is nature which I believe is the starting point. I feel privileged to be a painter because my works help me in a unique and personal way to create a better world. With each painting it is a new effort that makes me participate in an entity with its problems to resolve such as life offers us with each sunrise.

Respect for the mission:

 Painting pictures by the traditional way which interprets nature, its lights, its colors which will transport towards calm, reflection, and rest to the universal soul in search of truth. Make ART that thrills you with its pure and simple reality.
