Eurgal's paintings create an infinite horizon over sunny oceans. His work is an invitation to travel and contemplate, Eurgal's landscapes are soothing and take us to a distant world. Filled with exoticism and familiar landscapes, his oil paintings lengthen short-lived moments and wants us to make time stand still. Through intense color ranges but also contrasts, they give a romantic look to nature. With great composition skills, the painter puts together an enormous foreground and uses blue canvases or villages where light is omnipresent. Eurgal highlights his attraction for fraternity and his passion for freedom.

"Eurgal portrays dazzling happy colors and comes out of his shell, to trigger feelings through his painting, depicting reality in an informal space filled with peace and freedom. His constantly shifting work opens doors to a kingdom of dreams and fairy-tale moreover it highlights the aspects which unite men and nature, when spirits with one combines with the other" wrote Thierry SZNYTKA - Arts Actualités Magazine.

He was put in the limelight by the radio (radio nostalgie, France bleu…), televisions too for interviews or even reports (France 3, M6…) and by the press (Arts actualités magazine, valeur de l’art, coté des arts, art et décoration) and was on the covers of Univers des Arts et Pratique des arts. Even the prefecture of La Rochelle used his works while creating cards. His works have been acquired by the public, the prefecture of Charente-Maritime and the Chatellerault city hall.
