Jérôme Rasto

Born in 1978 in Perpignan. He works and lives in Paris.

He began painting with his father, painter. The story begins when he was child with the discovery of a book "Les Très Riches Heures du Duc de Berry". Drawings, characters, buildings, animals, the ornamental aspect of the illumination, and especially its symbols will mark him durably. The stained-glass window which fascinates him will influence the thickness of its line, its transparencies, its colors.

After a short passage at the Arts deco (ENAD) of Limoges, he continues to paint before beginning two years ago to work also in the street. He paints on various supports, canvas, walls, bulky waste, a universe mixing this medieval iconography with references more contemporary as the video games with whom he has grow up.
