At the age of 10, the Marseille painter Yann Letestu made a long boat trip with his family, which took him across the Atlantic to Venezuela. His vocation as an artist (and a fisherman!) probably came from this period conducive to the imagination and the taste for airy spaces. His canvases, a mix of watercolour, ink and oil with nautical charts mounted on a frame as a support, mostly present a small cartoon-like character facing the sea, fascinated by the horizon that opens up in front of him, and ready at the beginning. Travel memories are palpable, the viewer is invited to immerse themselves in these works and give free rein to their imagination.
