Serge Nicolas-Castel  

Serge Nicolas-Castel is a painter from Vannes (Morbihan) whose work is based on simple compositions that project moments of everyday life around characters and seascapes.

Genre scenes are inspired by our immediate surroundings. Human, urban, plant, or maritime nature provides daily sources of inspiration, the graphic dimension of which does not always have time to be perceived.

Each work is a construction inspired by a perceived scene; the compositional work aims for emotion, questioning, reflection, and appeasement, but everyone can imagine whatever they want.

Oil painting, a slow medium, is favored for its depth, fluidity, and effects. A constant search for harmonies of form and color occupies his work, allowing him to offer original or unusual works through his figurative style.
