Hervé Lenouvel

Born in Brittany, France, in 1960, I spent my childhood in the countryside near the legendary Forest of Brocéliande. Growing up in a rural environment, I developed an early passion for drawing, followed by painting, and formed a deep, almost spiritual connection with nature, which has remained my primary source of inspiration ever since.

A self-taught artist, I immersed myself in books on a wide range of painting techniques, experimenting with watercolor and gouache before ultimately embracing oil painting. Its rich texture and viscosity offer a sensual quality that I have never found in any other medium.
