Entrepreneur, then gallery for 23 years in Geneva and returned to his first love, Painting in 2001.

He exhibited in different galleries in Switzerland, Geneva, Gland. In France, in Paris and Aix-En-Provence from 2007 to 2022.

"It is a very rich orientation that Claude Voutat's painters take. Of course, his control of colors and their confrontation are always there, mixing black with it, but their interventions strictly on a white background speak to us in a cabalistic way. .. Although the signs thus posed, perhaps lead us to the obvious. In fact, they reach the essential. Which are punctuated by collages with humor and a distancing mixed with poetry."
