About the Artist:
As a self-taught artist, he began painting very young, inspired by the great masters such as Renoir, Monet and other Impressionists. During an exhibition in Beaubourg, he discovered the work of Salvador Dalí with fascination. From then on it was a revelation: "the magic of a masterful canvas seen through the eyes of a child." Overwhelmed, he once again grabbed his brushes and did not stop painting.

When creating his works, the artist set himself the goal of making people dream, and his willingness to share his imaginary vision is a means to that end, even a necessity. So he takes us on a journey through unusual landscapes, often littered with books. He also likes to visit "still life" in his own way, turning pebbles into mushrooms or other fantasies.

Jean-Noël Riou admits that he has been inspired by all the possibilities offered by oil painting, through the many layers of lasering and the effects he creates with all sorts of objects and instruments that fall into his hands to satisfy his insatiable taste for beautiful painting, which he says is between imagination and optical illusion. Picture-eater that you are, you will be able to come and satiate yourself, for he does not forget that artists live through the eyes of those who enjoy entering their world and without whom they have nothing to exist....
