Bernard Relecom

I have been painting since the age of eight. Later, student at Saint-Luc Tournai, I learned photography and composition.

I have been a photographer for a long time and have a passion for capturing the moment.

In fashion first, I then headed for major reporting in Canada, Mexico and Panama where I worked in an expedition studying the migration of the Mayas

As an art teacher for 15 years, I have been passionate about teaching my students to express themselves and fulfill themselves through the arts.

I am a native of Flanders and its skies strongly marked me. Hence this alchemy of sailing battles mixed with these seas of changing colors. Relentless sailor, I love life and colors.

I am very inspired by the colors and the movements of the good-natured crowds of the Dunkirk carnival, of which I try to show this festive frenzy recounting the departure of the fishermen for Newfoundland.

James Ensor did the same in Ostend, in the reality of the moment. Oil and watercolor are my two techniques of expression.
