Patrick Lalande

Patrick uses the technique of chiaroscuro and glazes. He draws his inspiration from the works of Flemish masters and "ruinistes" of the eighteenth century. Landscapes where mineral matter gives a depth and brightness to give the picture a three-dimensionality in his paintings. Born in Toulon in 1959, his attraction for painting led him to follow the course of Fine Arts. He trained as a photographer at the "Chamber of Trades," and participated in various publications in journals of photographs. After encounters with painters Eugene Baboulène and Michel Bron, he started a new path, that of painting. Since 1981, he has exhibited in France and abroad.
