Florian Le Bris was born in Nantes, in the northwest of France in 1976. As a teenager, he was already drawing comic characters and illustrating people the way that he saw them. He completed his Bachelors Degree in Fine Arts at the art school, “Auguste Renoir”, in Paris. There he learned different technical aspects of painting. After researching various materials for his works, he chose walnut stain as his main medium. The main subjects of most of his works are women and their beauty; depicted with a definite kind of aesthetics. Whether urban and sophisticated or natural and ethnic, by using simple lines, Florian attempts to allow his subject’s essence to shine through. After various exhibitions in Paris, including one at the Big Arch of La Defense, he traveled to India in January 2005 as a volunteer for the Tsunami Relief work. From there began his new series of paintings illustrating the grace of the women and children of India. His goal is to sell his art and donate the funds to help to the people of Cuddalore who inspire his paintings.
