G.Graam

Raised in a family of painters, I have always drawn. Self-taught, I tried my hand in all fields, from comics to nature, to portraits and the human body. The common point of all my drawings was black and white. Indeed, already very young, I didn't want to do like everyone else, I wanted to demonstrate that you can bring out the soul of things just with a play of light, a grayscale or a very light color .

It was as a teenager that I discovered two major artists who were to influence my work. Pierre SOULAGE, for his mastery of black and light creating the ultra-black and Edward HOPPER with his scenes of lives so intense in emotions.

I was going to paint scenes of everyday life in which people could project themselves and even identify themselves, mixing the realism of HOPEER and the light of SOULAGE.

I had just created my signature, hyperrealism in black and white or with a light color, playing with the light which gives my works a particular atmosphere.

Since then, I have been keen to make people discover my universe and to illuminate people's eyes with this light.

I also make large canvases of 2m and more, which give my work even more visibility.

Being always in research, my thoughts are turned towards new realizations which would be a mixture of my current works with 3D; allowing the public to also see elements of the painting come out even closer to reality.

My projects:

Since the end of 2021, in Monaco, I bring my artistic touch to the creation of personalized luxury watches.
