Discover the contemporary work of ANNICK PORTAL -JO
Inhabited since adolescence by the need to express myself artistically, after my divorce in England in 1992, I began to paint. Self-taught very Inspired by Dalì, I started creating modern watercolors. In 1997, I returned to France and opened a studio in Honfleur. There I discovered acrylic painting and digital art. My life as an artist was interrupted by a health ordeal: a serious detachment of the retina of my left eye. After several operations, I moved to Menton on the Côte d'Azur where I slowly began to create paintings on my computer from (my) photos and my imaginary world, which I occasionally sell to friends or admirers. Always thirsty for art and creativity, and too happy to be able to work with only one eye, I have just registered on ARTactif to show and sell my paintings "to the general public"!
I set up my artist studio in Honfleur, Normandy, after living in England and selling my paintings through an agent.
