About the artist
"My paintings are meant to evoke emotions through shapes, colours, matter"
Luc Villard is a French contemporary artist best known and recognised for his abstract paintings. There is a strong connection to abstract expressionism, but also to lyrical abstraction. For him, creating has always been a gateway to a larger and more colourful world, where possibilities are limited only by our imagination. Villard expresses himself with a large brushstroke, leaving the interpretation of his works to the subjectivity of each viewer. He lives and works in Brittany.

The French painter Luc Villard has realised numerous exhibitions in France and is now opening up to the international market. For him, creating has always been an open door to a larger, more colourful world where possibilities have no limits except the imagination you give them. Abstract works and yet... The interpretation of the work is left to the subjectivity of each person who is able to see in it an inner world that is his own. By expressing himself with large brushstrokes and freeing himself from conventions, the artist tries to give preference to affect and makes high demands on his art. For this reason, he always starts from scratch until the spark of creation is transferred to the canvas. His art is inspired by many movements. One can see a strong affiliation to abstract expressionism, an expressive art that liberates itself from figuration. Lyrical abstraction, a European movement, is also strongly represented in his paintings. It is a subjective art whose main concern is to evoke an emotion in its viewer. More recently, the discovery of the street art movement has led the artist to pay tribute to this movement created on the walls. For over 30 years, the artist has been perfecting his art by multiplying colours and movements in search of the perfect balance. Luc Villard now lives in Brittany, but also exhibits on the Côte d'Azur as well as in China, Canada and Portugal.
