Michel de Alvis

Michel was born in Paris on July 16, 1936 and died in Paris in October 2019. He is Parisian at heart.

“Paris, my city, my beautiful city, eternal and yet so changing and disturbing but never disappointing to which I always come back despite the beauties discovered elsewhere.

Paris, my beautiful love, that I have traveled from North to South, from East to West, from the top of its towers to its little courtyards, Paris which pulsates and which beats, Paris do you feel my heart beating in the 'unison? "

Throughout his life, Michel de Alvis sketched Paris. He drew this city in pencil and ink on paper and cardboard; he also painted it in ink and gouache and oils on paper, cardboard, canvas, wood and silk.
