Bertrand Girard
Nice, France

Bertrand Girard remembers painting as a child, and eventually turned his passion into a profession. Each piece he creates is a way for him to express his feelings. Many of his works depict landscapes and scenes from Paris, but these vignettes serve as a way to capture a mood, not just a place.

Artist Statement

I am a French artist, working in the south of France. I use a mixed technique, and oil painting. I started to paint at the age of 8. I find my inspiration in different areas: you can see on my site that my painting can be inspired by industrial landscape (shipyard and ship construction) but my last works are inspired by Parisian atmosphere: Paris roofs, Paris cafe, Paris gardens and famous and unknown Paris places.
I was influenced by French school (expressionism) , Pierre Soulage, Edouard Hopper influenced my approach in painting.
My mother brought me at the age of 8 to the famous Ecole de Versailles. Later my passion for painting led me to the Paris. Ecole des Arts Décoratifs.

Artist Background

École nationale supérieure des Arts Décoratifs

Bonjour Dee, excusez moi de m'exprimer en français, c'est plus simple pour moi, oui j'ai peint ce tableau en m'inspirant d'une façade d'un restaurant parisien se situant à l'angle de la rue saint André des Arts et de la rue des Grands Augustins, par contre la scène intérieure est imaginaire ce qui m'intéressait c'était de jouer avec la lumière jaune du restaurant en opposition avec la nuit tombante dans la rue, j'ai voulu également une composition assez géométrique et contemporaine pour ce tableau je suis très fière honoré qu'il soit en votre possession Bertrand Girard

Thank you. Merci for the beautiful artwork. I love the bistro scene. I wonder if this cafe is in Paris? I would like to visit it someday. Warm regards, Dee Thomas

As a writer I hope to take my readers to a new place, explore a new experience, explain a new perspective. With each of our three Girard paintings (Morning Coffee) we have our breakfast at a stand-up Parisian bar, (Leaving Under the Rain) we watch a friend leaving us to wonder if that was her last visit and now (The Cat on the Roof) we explore the roofs of Paris from the perspective of a curious cat. All are wonderful views.

"The Neighbor" is an inviting and intriguing piece. Wondering where this encounter will lead.

commentsMorning Coffee

You can smell the strong coffee and pastry. Concern and respect for privacy from the server is captured by Girard, who is probably sketching at a table unnoticed...
