Jean-Pierre Walter

Biography

French painter, I have been a professional since 2005. Fascinated by still life since my adolescence, my paintings are inspired by the Flemish masters of the 15th century and by Dutch and French painting of the 17th and 18th centuries. My favorite technique is grisaille with thin transparent layers called glazes coming from artists like Jan Van Eyck and other Flemish primitives. Among the artists I admire and who influence my research and my creations, we find Sébastien Stoskopff, Jean-Siméon Chardin, Louyse Moillon, Jacques Linard but also Jan Van Eyck, Pieter Claesz, Willem Claeszoon Heda, Jérôme Bosch, Osias Beert, Ambrosius Bosschaert, Adriaen Coorte, and so many others... My paintings have rarely been exhibited in public (twice in England) and I'm very honored to have sent more than 2350 paintings in 39 countries to faithful connoisseurs and art enthusiasts. Thank you for your support.
