François Dumenil is a self-taught artist whose black and white works capture the duality between shadow and light with great sensitivity. Passionate about painting and photography, he fuses these disciplines to sublimate light and offer creations that are both profound and elegant.
A lover of simplicity and authenticity, he works out of sight, letting his inspiration express itself freely. His paintings, marked by sobriety, invite the viewer to a personal experience, where emotion and contemplation come together. Mainly active in autumn and winter, periods conducive to introspection, François draws on his observations and his contemplative view of the world to nourish his art. Since his first exhibitions, his work has been praised for its ability to reveal beauty in simplicity and to transmit a unique emotional depth. Through his artistic approach, he explores a quest for balance and authenticity that resonates with everyone.
