Jean Delerens

It was his love of women that led DELERENS to paint. From his earliest childhood, with his mother, his sister and his cousins, he made sketches, in pencil, then in charcoal before embarking on oil painting. Her brush reveals graceful, fragile silhouettes in multicolored drapes, a nudity often suggested, but never revealed. Later, he will wear hats on them, revealing his romanticism In sober settings, but always very flowery. With the seasons, their perfumes are almost perceptible on the web. His women often remain faceless, to give free rein to the imagination of each. During his many travels, drapes, colors and attitudes change, And exotic encounters will remain his main source of inspiration. In 2005, he was a real revelation during a trip to Venice, and will not cease To revive through his paintings and his palette of colors the mystery, this Unique light, at the bend of a small bridge, an elegant facade, an ephemeral reflection. Seduced by the lace of forgotten porches, he watches for the unusual and the morning light to return to Venice all its mystery and its romanticism ... For his technique, very smooth, with a brush, the first years, he decides to adopt Materials, to obtain a very sandy finish, sometimes scintillating, and which gives the skin and face of her nudes a very successful velvety appearance.
