About the Artist

My name is Patrick Chartol. I am a French self-taught painter. I paint a lot at night. I like the silence, the fact of not being disturbed, of being able to concentrate, of not having any specific schedule. I grind, I mix, I erase, I start again until dawn.

When I create a painting, I am in the present moment, nothing matters anymore and I take intense pleasure in floating in a journey of colors, shapes, harmonies. It is this pleasure and these trips that I want to share with you. 

I like abstraction because I feel totally free. For me it’s a bit like improvisation in jazz. A direct expression, a letting go to be totally in the present moment. Picasso said a sentence that sums it all up: “Art cleanses our soul of the dust of everyday life! » If you are also curious to hear my music, here is an overview at this link: SpotifyPlaylist
