Presentation
Rolf Saint-Agnès started painting when he took a bite of the big apple.
In 1991, Rolf Saint-Agnès moved to New York where, stimulated by the energy and vibrancy of
the city, he started portraying street visions and imaginary scenes in bright colors outlined with
black lines. His art has progressed through many stages since then and includes a less graphic,
more surreal period during which he focused more on nature while living alone in a cabin in
northern California.
That experience broadened his palette and enriched his vision of things. Now he gets his
inspiration mostly from traveling, but also from current events. He has gone back to using bright
colors and black lines and whether he depicts animals, trees, portraits or monuments, his graphic
style expresses things with force and always in a positive light.
Over the years Rolf has affirmed his identity as a painter and has been commissioned by several
companies and private collectors to produce various works, including, recently, a 50 feet large by
40 feet high painting, consisting of 7 canvases, which he completed in June 2020 for a FrenchGerman company based in Alsace.
