Born in Abidjan in 1963,Patrice MARCHAL then spent his childhood in Morocco. This look accustomed to wide open spaces, vast blue skies and distant horizons, the artist will transport them to France and transpose them into other landscapes, in the tradition of the painters of the Barbizon School.

Self-taught painter, Patrice Marchal paints freely, opening up to everything and marveling at the beauty of the nature that surrounds us! Each work is a personal, universal and timeless invitation. We smell the smell of tall grass, we contemplate the horizon at the end of our path, we breathe the fresh air of its poppy fields.

Artist in permanent exhibition at the Millet Museum since 2012
