GUILLET Jacques

The artist, on the Drouot side, has undergone a significant evolution in his artistic style. Initially recognized for his meticulous and realistic depictions of landscapes and monuments, he has simultaneously embraced a direction where his imagination guides the brush.

Mastering vinyl, he creates atmospheres and shares his emotions through inspiring subjects. From horizons once anchored in reality to imaginary creations of ports and maritime landscapes, each canvas opens a window onto a benevolent world and weaves a cocoon to share a space of timeless softness. This duality between realism and escapism characterizes Jacques Guillet's artistic approach. He revisits maritime themes with remarkable freedom, oscillating between precise details and evocative minimalism. Each work explores a subtle balance, blending memories of places and poetic dreams.

Through a fluid approach, he follows his instinct to constantly reinvent himself, approaching his subjects with a sensitivity and audacity that invites contemplation. Each painting becomes an invitation to travel, a suspended space where the perception of reality blends with the softness of the imagination. For him, painting is a continuous journey, a quest where emotion meets aesthetics. His canvases translate a soothing and timeless vision of the world, offering viewers precious moments of reverie and sharing.
