Story & Passion
Self-taught painter “SARO" de his artist pseudonym, painted from the color photos he takes when he visits his native Brittany. In 1986, it was his drawing teacher who revealed to him this gift he carried within him.
Guided in his early days by the advice of the Riantecois painter "Le Carrer" he very quickly became independent.
Evening classes at the School of Fine Arts in Lorient introduced him to charcoal sketches based on a technical pose on which he worked from time to time.
​
But it is in oil painting that he expresses himself most often and more precisely on the theme of the sea. He painted at the time from the color photos he took when he visited Brittany.
​
His departure for Alsace in 1992 will reinforce this taste for painting Brittany, its cliffs, its ports. From 1996 to 2005, his works could be admired at the Mannfeld gallery in Colmar.
From 2005 to 2014 its production will be more rare. It was in 2015 that he took for the first time as a subject that of motor racing and more particularly Formula 1.
Passionate about car racing since childhood, he followed the championships on television and from 2005 to 2008 on site directly at the Magny-Cours circuit. He was able to meet some great people there and pose with the greatest pilots of those magical years.
It was in 2016 that he returned to motor racing by going to the 24 hours of Le Mans. His passion for the 24 hours naturally led him to the Chartre sur Loire, more precisely to the Hotel de France.
His meeting with Christophe Lefèvre the bartender and Michel Jarry a regular customer and also passionate about the 24 Hours of Le Mans and the Hotel de France. It is with his two living memories of the 24 Hours of Le Mans race that he will spend long evenings listening to all sorts of anecdotes about the 24 Hours and the Hotel de France. Each of these evenings has fueled the desire to paint the cars that have marked the history of motor racing.
His works cover a period of sixty years. It all starts with a view of this Ford GT at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 2016.
