Born in Northern
France in 1963, Didier Chretien now resides in the south better
known as "LA PROVENCE". From his first art classes
provided in school, he realized a desire to create. At the age
of 13 he sculpted wooden images but rapidly found painting on
canvases to be more fulfilling.
As a child, Didier exhibited his great enthusiasm for freedom,
adventure, and nature. His parents recognized his talent very
early and enrolled him in art classes. Didier responded enthusiastically
to the instruction which, in combination with his natural talent,
helped him move rapidly towards his entrance into the world
of renowned artists.
"I find my energy in Provence, says Didier, all my work
is inspired by the Mediterranean scenery, superimposing bright,
some would say shocking colors, just enough to tickle the eye".
In his quest for simplicity, Didier uses only the bare essentials,
but creates the most dramatic effect on his canvases.
Didier is recognized as being one of the leading painters of
the dramatic landscapes of Southern France. His use of vibrant
bold colors brings to life all the elements one would find in
"Provence" and these spectacular visions are combined
to bring out the best of the viewer's imagination.
Didier's work is exhibited in the most prestigious galleries
throughout Europe. His love of travel and his ability to find
new subject matter brought his work to the United States. His
creative use of colors symbolizing his beloved France has been
an immediate success on galleries across America.
Now happily married to his wife Natalie and a proud father of
four, Didier has achieved most if not all of his goals in life.
He makes personal appearances for scheduled shows in selected
galleries annually and is regularly commissioned for specific
work, which he translates in his incomparable style.
