Jean Cuillerat is a painter in search of light and spirit who was inspired by sacred texts but also poetry. This is how he illustrated and enriched in 1967, with twenty etchings on art paper, the collection of poems "Meduses" written by Serge Wellens in 1965, and this is how his art was exhibited at the gallery Gérard Mourgue from Paris in 1967. “Jean Cuillerat (1927-1998) was born on December 8, 1927 in Paris in the 14th arrondissement of Paris, into a family of farmers, at the heart of eight siblings. It was as an adult that he studied at the Ecole du Louvre from 1955 to 1960, at the Académie de la Grande Chaumière, at the Beaux-Arts in Paris. Throughout his life as a painter his quest will be not only artistic but also mystical, feeding on all the great currents of spiritual thought in the world which will thus mark symbolic periods marking his paintings or engravings. Cuillerat said: "I was a rough stone that the Freemasons polished!" He was initiated on April 11, 1967, then joined the lodge of the Two Swans from its creation in 1976 where he became venerable in 1985-1986. He illustrates the newsletter of La Loge. He paints or engraves the symbols, for the Freemasons, the tools for building the temple of humanity between humans and the dead He practices Kabbalah for fifteen years, studies Hebrew and Jewish mysticism, which inspires his paintings for years 1964 and 1965, subject of a conference "The Parallel Aesthetics of Jean Cuillerat according to Kabbalah" by Adolphe Grad at the Paris Metalogical Institute on November 13, 1964 and at the Gérard Mourgue Gallery in December 1965. Then Cuillerat turned towards the quest for Buddhism and mandalas just like the American Tobey. Formally, he is an abstract who sometimes integrates into his art proto-figurative elements that take on the value of symbols from the collective unconscious.
