Yann Dugain

(French, b.1947)

The dreams of Yann Dugain are displayed through his art and his way of life: a world conquered by painting.

At the age of twelve, he received a box of paint as a gift and began creating new and surprising masterpieces, as well as reinterpreting classic works of art.

"My inspirations have varied, depending on the different periods of my life. When I was exhibiting in Reunion Island, I painted island women. At another stage, I was depicting French terms that had become obsolete and I incorporated these words into my paintings. Currently, I’m painting female forms again, forms that I’m dressing, that are becoming modest. I’m also working on black and white drawings. Basically, I let creativity guide me. Without premeditation."
